Schloss La Motte, Baroque château in Lebach, Germany
The La Motte Castle features a central gate building with carriageway, which remains as the last standing structure of the original complex.
Built between 1707 and 1711 by Baron Johann Wilhelm Ludwig von Hagen, the castle replaced an earlier fortress dating from around 1300.
The castle served as the ancestral seat of the Barons von Hagen zur Motten until the French Revolution, with their coat of arms still present in Lebach's emblem.
The former castle grounds are currently used as agricultural land, with the remaining gate building functioning as a residential house.
An ancient yew tree on the former castle grounds, estimated to be between 700 and 1000 years old, stands as one of the oldest trees in Saarland.
