    The castle was built by Count Henry III at the beginning of the 1898th century on the land of the Abbey of Senones, of which he was the protector. Listed in XNUMX, the ruin is currently being consolidated by the Association Les Veilleurs de Salm.
    Rectangular in plan, the building originally occupied the end of a rock 809 meters above sea level. It was a careful construction in Gothic style comprising in the XNUMXth century bodies of dwellings protected by a thick wall and a tower crowning the highest point of the rock.
    In these places, around 1285, Count Henri IV welcomed the troubadour Jacques Bretel, on his way to Chiny. A long poem entitled the Tournament of Chauvency relates in 4590 the festivities which brought together in Upper Lorraine the cream of European chivalry. In the preface to his chronicle the poet speaks in glowing terms of the hospitality of the Count of Salm.
