Château de Blâmont

Château de Blâmont is a fortified castle in northeastern France featuring five preserved stone towers with thick defensive walls. The structure sits prominently on elevated terrain overlooking the surrounding Lorraine landscape.

The fortress was built around 1200 and received additional defensive structures in the 13th century. Renaissance modifications in the 16th century adapted the layout to new military technologies.

The Association Clef de Voûte organizes work camps for young volunteers to learn traditional masonry techniques, stone extraction, and stone carving at the castle.

The site is accessible on foot and allows visitors to explore the grounds freely. Guided tours are available for groups and provide deeper information about the structure and its past.

A chocolate manufacturer named Fernand Burrus purchased the property in 1912 and added two extra towers to the medieval structure. This addition reflects how later owners adapted the fortress to suit their vision.
