Château de Salm stands in La Broque (Bas-Rhin), in the Grand Est region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 12th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Perched on a red sandstone ridge above the Bruche valley, the ruins of Salm castle have marked the landscape of La Broque since the late 12th century. Visitors can still make out a shield tower, a postern gate and the vaulted chamber of a cistern, remnants of a comital stronghold once counted among the finest in the Lorraine-Alsace border region. Listed as a historic monument, the site is reached after a forest climb to an altitude of 809 metres.

What to know

The site is reached via an uphill forest path, with no facilities for reduced mobility.
These are open-air ruins, with no roofed building or furnished interior to see.
There are no set opening hours or fees, as access to the site is free.
Sturdy shoes are recommended, since the ground is uneven and can be slippery.
The remains, though partly cleared by restoration work, are fragmentary and require some imagination to picture the original layout.
