Septfontaines Castle

Located high above the village of Septfontaines, the medieval castle is now privately owned.

In 1233, Jean de Septfontaines placed the property under the protection of Countess Ermesinde of Luxembourg.

At the beginning of the 14th century, Thomas de Septfontaines, a friend and companion of Emperor Henry VII, was the lord of the castle.

In 1600, Christoph von Criechingen built a huge Renaissance tower at the northern entrance.

In 1919, the castle was partly demolished but in 1920 the owners attempted to carry out restoration work, but did not pay much attention to historical architectural requirements.
