Restes du château stands in Châtenois (Bas-Rhin), in the Grand Est region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century). No visits are on record for this building.
In Châtenois, on the street leading to the church, a fortified gate and sections of ramparts remain as the visible traces of the former medieval castle. The site, known as the tower of the Witches, takes its name from a nearby former dungeon once used to hold people accused of witchcraft. This is not a monument set up for touring but a fragment of 15th-century defensive architecture woven into the village itself.
Written from Tour des Sorcières (Châtenois)
