Bertrada Castle is a fascinating piece of history that is anchored in the region. The assumption that it was built on the remains of a Roman fort gives the place a mystical touch, even if there is no clear evidence for this. The connection to Bertrada, the mother of Charlemagne, gives the castle a special historical significance, even if the first documented mentions only appear in the 13th century.

The castle's eventful history, in particular its occupation by the French revolutionary troops, shows how strongly the political currents of the time shaped the region.
