Sedan Castle, Medieval fortress museum in Sedan, France
The fortress spans 35,000 square meters with massive stone walls, four defensive bastions, and multiple exhibition spaces dedicated to military history.
Built in the 15th century by Evrard II de La Marck-Arenberg around a Benedictine priory, the castle turned into a French stronghold after the Battle of Marfée in 1641.
The museum displays Ludwig Braun's 11-meter panoramic painting depicting the 1870 Battle of Sedan, alongside Napoleonic war artworks and military artifacts.
The castle museum opens daily through guided tours, with parking facilities nearby and a reception area providing detailed information in multiple languages.
The medieval structure includes the Prince's Gate, constructed by Vauban in 1699, incorporating advanced artillery adaptations into the original defensive architecture.
