Hiking

The castle of the Dukes of Lorraine sits sensuously on a rocky promontory in the Moselle Valley above the town of Sierck-les-Bains. It was likely built in the 11th century on the ruins of the "Circum Castellum," a Gallo-Roman fort. Of the original castle, which was destroyed in 1643, only a short, solid section of wall remains on the plateau.

The ruins have since been secured and partially reconstructed. A visit is worthwhile – not least for the views.

Tour duration: approx. 1–1.5 hours, last admission 1 hour before closing.

Admission currently (Oct. 2023): €6.00
