Château de Waldeck, Medieval castle ruins in Éguelshardt, France.
The Château de Waldeck stands on sandstone cliffs with its remaining keep offering views over the Erbsenthal valley in northeastern France.
Built in the late 13th century, the castle changed hands between noble families including the Limanges, Kirkels, and Lichtenbergs until its partial destruction in 1633.
The castle structure incorporates both traditional fortification elements and natural cave formations, representing medieval military architecture of the Moselle region.
Access to the castle ruins has been restricted since 1999 for safety reasons, but visitors can observe the structure from designated paths in the surrounding area.
The castle complex spans three separate cliff formations, with underground chambers and carved staircases integrated into the natural rock formations.
