Château de Morimont

The Château de Morimont (German: Moersberg) is a ruined castle in the Alsace region of France, in the commune of Oberlarg in the Haut-Rhin département.

In 1582 they sold it to the Counts of Ortenbourg Salamanque who kept it until the Thirty Years' War, during which it was destroyed by French troops in 1637.

The northern building, measuring 51 by 7.5 m (~170 by 25 ft), has an underground semicircular vaulted cellar running its full length, and the remains of two spiral staircases.

The southern artillery tower has three vaulted casemates whose cannon openings are set to fire horizontally, with one covering the entrance.

The northeast tower, built in 1515, has been restored, and the present entrance to the cellar through the curtain wall is not original.

The adaptation of the castle to artillery warfare was modern in conception but with little military value, as the site was dominated from three sides by high ground.
