Château d'Épinal, Medieval fortress ruins in Épinal, France
The stone ruins of Château d'Épinal stand at 387 meters altitude, overlooking the Moselle Valley and the city of Épinal below.
Jacques de Lorraine, Bishop of Metz, built this fortress in the 13th century upon foundations of an earlier castle from around the year 1000.
The castle grounds contain a medieval garden, animal park, and walking paths that demonstrate the evolution of French military architecture through centuries.
The castle park opens daily from 8 AM to 7 PM in summer and 9 AM to 5 PM in winter with free access and parking facilities.
Three stone pillars from 1519 remain standing, originally built to support a wooden bridge connecting the keep to exterior defensive structures.
