You can experience a thousand years of history in the residence of the Dukes of Lorraine (11th-17th centuries). For a long time, the castle was a strategically important place in Lorraine and the border triangle, as it was at the gates of the Kingdom of France, a remarkable heritage in an extraordinary natural landscape with an unforgettable view of the Moselle valley.

Surrounded by three hills, the complex is located on a rocky outcrop made of red sandstone at a height of almost 200 meters. Its almost egg-shaped shape follows its course and guards the confluence of the Moselle valley and the small valley of Montenach.

The castle's origins probably date back to Gallo-Roman times, when a fort is said to have been built here, although there is no evidence of this. From the 11th century there is an 11th century document from the Duke of Lorraine Gérard d'Alsace (1048-1070), which was exhibited at the castle, dated 1067, as well as coins minted in Sierck during the reign of the same duke.
