The Palais des Princes (Palace of the Princes) or Château-bas (Outer bailey) was the residence of the princes of Sedan in the 17th century. The 17th-century building on the Place du Château in Sedan later served as the palace of the city's governor and as a barracks. Source: Wikipedia

This mighty fortress, the largest in Europe (35,000 m2, seven floors), was built on a rocky spur between the Bièvre and the Vra. The citadel is one of the oldest examples of French fortifications and could accommodate 4,000 soldiers. For five centuries, the fortress was strategically located between France and the Holy Roman Empire (and then Prussia and Germany) and was therefore constantly provided with new fortifications and thicker walls, while the existing structure was preserved. Wall 30 m high and up to 7.20 m thick with 4 bastions.

The largest fortified castle in Europe, this fortress is a must-see in Sedan. The rocky promontory on which it was erected offers beautiful views of the city and the Meuse.

Built at the beginning of the 19th century, Flize Castle then became a cloth factory, then a spinning mill, before once again becoming a private home.

Fort des Ayvelles is a fortification built at the end of the 19th century to protect the railway network from enemy attacks. You can explore the fort's massive walls, underground passages, casemates and observatory, and learn about its role during the world wars. The fort is surrounded by a beautiful park with a pond, a playground and a picnic area. You can also enjoy the panoramic view of the Meuse valley from the top of the hill where the fort is located. The fort is open Tuesday to Sunday, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., and the entrance fee is 5 euros per adult. Don't forget to bring a flashlight, a bottle of water and your curiosity!

The chateau is very large and worth visiting. I especially liked the inside, it is partly furnished and with a background of noises, you get the feeling of staying in the middle of the castle residents.

The chateau was the highlight of our Sedan visit. Large facility with a beautiful view of the city.
