A fantastic fortress with lots to explore and a fantastic view of the surrounding area. There's a small souvenir shop at the entrance and exit, where you can also buy drinks. The site map is available in German, French, or English. There are also events taking place on the grounds, and apparently there's also an escape room adventure (which you can book). In the middle of the fortress ruins, there's a huge lawn with benches where you can have a picnic with a great view, provided you bring some snacks.

An impressive sight directly on the Moselle.

Can be seen right on the Mosel cycle path.

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.

Nice view of Sierck-les-Bains and its imposing fortress: the castle of the Dukes of Lorraine. Although it is difficult to date its construction, a document from the Duke mentions the existence of the castle from the 11th century. It is one of the few castles from this period to be so well preserved in the east of France. It was the residence of the Dukes of Lorraine and dominates the valley, leaning against a red rock. Visiting the site is well worth a short detour.
