# Château de Montcornet

Montcornet, Ardennes, Grand Est

Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The ruins of Montcornet castle stand on a rocky spur overlooking the valley in the Ardennes, on a site inhabited since prehistoric times. Built in the 11th and 12th centuries, the fortress was reworked in the 15th century to withstand gunfire before being dismantled in 1766. Visitors can still see a barbican and a rare defensive feature known as a moineau, built into the base of the keep. The historian Jules Michelet said he found his calling here, calling the ruins a 'feudal Colosseum'.
