Château de Malbrouck, Medieval castle in Manderen-Ritzing, France
The castle consists of four corner towers connected by curtain walls, featuring a three-level main building and a central courtyard spanning 1,500 square meters.
Construction began in 1419 under Arnold VI de Sierck with permission from the Duke of Lorraine, and the fortress was completed in 1434 for the electoral principality of Trier.
The castle hosts an annual comic festival that brings together authors and enthusiasts, adding a modern dimension to this medieval structure.
Admission costs 7 euros for adults while children under 16 enter free, and visitors typically spend one hour and fifteen minutes exploring the premises.
John Churchill, Duke of Marlborough, established his headquarters at the castle on June 3, 1705, during the War of the Spanish Succession.
