Burg Bucherbach

The castle features four round towers at the corners of a 40-meter square inner courtyard, with three towers measuring 10.40 meters in diameter.

The castle dates from the 13th century and was first documented in 1326 as part of an inheritance agreement within the House of Saarbrücken-Commercy.

The structure transformed from a defensive fortress into an agricultural estate during the 18th century, reflecting changes in regional land use patterns.

Visitors can access the castle ruins free of charge and use an audio guide to learn about the different architectural elements and historical periods.

The west tower contains a former Summer Hall with large window frames and measures 11 meters in height, different from the other three corner towers.
