Château de Geroldseck stands in Niederstinzel (Moselle), in the Grand Est region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument. No visits are on record for this building.

In Niederstinzel, in the Moselle department, the ruins of Geroldseck castle stand on a motte surrounded by a double water-filled moat, a layout typical of the Wasserburg fortresses built in this region during the Middle Ages. Construction is thought to date from around the mid-14th century. What remains today are sections of wall and the outline of this watery enclosure, set in a quiet rural landscape.

What to know

These are open-air ruins, with no restored building open for an indoor visit.
The site has been listed as a historic monument since 2000, covering the remains and the motte as a whole.
As no opening hours or fees are set, the site can be viewed freely from the outside.
The ground around the water-filled moat can be damp or uneven, so sturdy footwear is advisable.
The interest of the place lies mainly in reading the layout (motte, double moat) rather than in standing architecture.
