Château du Schlossberg, Medieval castle on Schlossberg hill in Forbach, France.

The octagonal tower rises 28 meters above the medieval ruins, offering views across the Saar and Rosselle river valleys.

Built in the 12th century, the castle expanded until Louis XIII ordered its demolition in 1634 during the Thirty Years' War.

The Knights' Hall contains a collection of artifacts from archaeological excavations and items from the Adt manufacturing company.

Visitors can climb 118 steps to reach the Saareck tower summit, with admission costing 3 euros for adults and 2 euros for children.

The surrounding park features 80 different tree species, including exotic specimens like the Ginkgo Biloba planted during the German period.
