Château des comtes de Salm

Description

The château was built by Count Henri III in the early 13th century on land belonging to the Abbey of Senones, of which he was the protector. Listed in 1898, the ruin is currently being consolidated by the Association Les Veilleurs de Salm.

Rectangular in plan, the building originally stood at the end of a rock at an altitude of 809 meters. In the 13th century, it was a carefully crafted Gothic structure comprising a number of dwellings protected by a thick wall and a tower crowning the highest point of the rock.

Around 1285, Count Henri IV welcomed the trouvère Jacques Bretel on his way to Chiny. A long poem entitled le Tournoi de Chauvency recounts in 4,590 verses the festivities that brought together the finest European chivalry in Upper Lorraine. In the preface to his chronicle, the poet praises the hospitality of the Count of Salm. Near the castle, an 18-marked Poetry Trail pays tribute to the poet and poetry through a pleasant discovery itinerary in the land of Salm.

Departure point: Access path opposite the Salm-La Broque forest house.
