Unfortunately, the stairs up to the observation tower are closed. At least, that was the case today, September 17, 2025. However, I expect this closure to last longer. Nevertheless, the structure is worth seeing.

Ruins rather interesting to observe, but informative panels would have been welcome to better discover the site! ⚠️ Besides, when I passed there, the ♦️/+ yellow path (from the crossroads after the Old Forest House of Gros Chêne to the Storindal Meadow) was punctuated with chains and 'Private Property' signs ⛔ ''. There are no/no more markers/signs indicating the presence of the castle, and it was difficult to then reach Saint Quirin (large sections made inaccessible).
