Tips

April 13, 2025

The Sierck-les-Bains quartzite quarry was used to extract quartzite for the construction of the castle, the church, and several houses in Sierck-les-Bains.

Towards the end of the First World War, it was used for industrial purposes. Quartzite mining experienced a significant boom, as this material was used as paving stones in Metz.

Abandoned since 1967, this quarry now makes way for a site with exceptional ecological qualities.
The ten hectares of the Sierck-les-Bains quartzite quarry, thanks to its geological composition, are home to a rare flora and fauna specific to acidic soils. This area is also partly home to blue fescue, a very rare species that is in danger of extinction.

This site is valued under the Interreg II "Living the Nature of the Border Region" program. The city has entrusted the site's protection to the Conservatoire des Sites Lorrains, leasing it for the long term.

A very impressive quarry with a few caves along the path. On one side, the mighty quartzite rocks, and on the other, a beautiful view of the Moselle and Sierck-les-Baines with its beautiful fortress ruins. The climb is definitely worth it; the scenery and views are impressive.
