Burg Montclair, Medieval castle ruins in Mettlach, Germany.
The stone fortification stands on a mountain spur inside a meander of the Saar river, featuring remaining walls and foundations from different construction periods.
The current structure dates from the early 15th century, built by Arnold VI of Sierck after the previous castle was destroyed in 1351.
The castle represents a significant example of medieval defensive architecture in the Saarland region, reflecting the power dynamics between nobles and archbishops.
Visitors can reach the castle through a 20-minute forest path walk, with an entrance fee required to access the archaeological site.
Four different fortifications existed on this location, starting from Celtic times, with the current castle being officially named Neu-Montclair.
