Château de Pierre-Percée, Medieval castle ruins in Pierre-Percée, France.
The castle stands on a 120-meter sandstone rock formation at 495 meters altitude, overlooking the Pierre-Percée lake in the Vosges mountains.
In 1134, Count Hermann II of Salm allied with the Duke of Lorraine against the Count of Bar, leading to a battle where Hermann died and the castle fell under siege.
The name Pierre-Percée originates from a deep well measuring 33 meters in depth and 2.20 meters in diameter, carved into the rock during Agnes of Bar's time.
The castle ruins are located at 7 Rue du Château in Pierre-Percée, with specific coordinates at 48.470278 latitude and 6.930278 longitude for precise navigation.
Local tales mention a cruel Lord of Salm who reportedly concealed a treasure in the castle's underground passages before fleeing the property.
