Château de Morimont, Medieval castle ruins in Oberlarg, France
The stone fortress contains seven artillery towers and a 51-meter-long underground vaulted cellar built from Jurassic limestone near the Swiss border.
First documented in 1271 when the Count of Ferrette offered it to the Bishop of Basel, the castle faced destruction by French troops in 1635.
The Renaissance architectural elements of the castle demonstrate the strong influence of French design on military structures in the Alsace region.
The castle grounds connect to a network of hiking trails that extend through the surrounding countryside and lead to Ebourbettes Farm.
The southern artillery tower features three vaulted casemates specifically designed for horizontal cannon fire to protect the castle entrance.
