Castles and heritage of the Northern Moselle Department – Must-see sites
CHÂTO - MUSÉO
Between emblematic castles, fortified villages and traces of a strategic past, the Northern Moselle Department reveals a rich and contrasting heritage. From Malbrouck to Rodemack, including forts and military structures, each place tells a story that takes on a special dimension in winter.
Between ramparts, towers and medieval streets
The landscapes of the Northern Moselle area bear the imprint of places that seem to tell their own stories.
At the top of its rocky spur, Malbrouck Castle unfolds its walls, towers and secret passages like a stone book waiting to be explored. In Sierck-les-Bains, the Castle of the Dukes of Lorraine overlooks the valley with a raw elegance that evokes tales of knights and shifting borders.
Further on, the Citadel of Rodemack, surrounded by its ramparts and its blonde-stone alleys, offers the setting of a village frozen in time, where every door and every wall seems to whisper a fragment of the past. Here, architecture is not only visited – it is felt.

In the footsteps of the fortifications
In the depths of the Northern Moselle area, some places seem suspended between silence and history.
In Veckring, the Gros Ouvrage du Hackenberg stretches out like a forgotten underground city, where the galleries, small wagons and echoing footsteps awaken stories of vigilance and courage.
In Cattenom, the Gros Ouvrage du Galgenberg reveals its corridors and blocks like fragments of a strategic past. Here, the stone speaks, the shadows envelop, and each space invites visitors to imagine the lives of those who once protected these borders.
