The largest fortified castle in Europe, this fortress is a must-see in Sedan. The rocky promontory on which it was erected offers beautiful views of the city and the Meuse.

This mighty fortress, the largest in Europe (35,000 m2, seven floors), was built on a rocky spur between the Bièvre and the Vra. The citadel is one of the oldest examples of French fortifications and could accommodate 4,000 soldiers. For five centuries, the fortress was strategically located between France and the Holy Roman Empire (and then Prussia and Germany) and was therefore constantly provided with new fortifications and thicker walls, while the existing structure was preserved.

Wall 30 m high and up to 7.20 m thick with 4 bastions.

The chateau is very large and worth visiting. I especially liked the inside, it is partly furnished and with a background of noises, you get the feeling of staying in the middle of the castle residents.
