The Forteresse de Châtel-sur-Moselle was one of the largest fortresses in Europe. It covered five hectares, had twenty-two towers and 1.4 km of ramparts, three floors with galleries and underground rooms. There is a small museum there that documents all of this. There wasn't really much to see on the site itself, as much of it was cordoned off.
