About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The project you will take part in consists in maintaining the ancient fortress built in the XIth century and the ruins of the medieval castle, dating back to the XIVth century: previously recognised as the property of the bishops of Metz. The purpose is to valorise the castle vestiges and to revive the place for local gatherings and events. Since 1996, the "Patrimoine Lorrain en Seille" association has been taking care of the old castle. Most of its members are retired and organise workcamps for volunteers to maintain the castle. Every year, the workcamps aim at guaranteeing the safety in the site, and open it to visitors eager to learn about the history of the castle. Information panels have been displayed in front of the curtain wall and the moats.
