Hidden at the bottom of a park, rising in the valley of a village or imposing itself on a rocky outcrop, the Ardennes castles will surprise you with their quantity and diversity. They are dated 15e the 19e century. Some are renovated and inhabited, sometimes occasionally open to the public (Heritage Day, events, lodging), others are nothing more than ruins (Montcornet, La Cassine). All tell theHistory of a department rich in past lordships and principalities. From fortified houses in the countryside to the Sedan fortified castle, the largest in Europe, so many sites to visit or simply admire. Find here those you can visit.
