In Saarlouis, the past is alive at every turn. Many stone witnesses remind of the city's founder, Louis XIV, and his famous master builder Vauban.
The fortress "Sarre-Louis" was built from 1680 at the behest of Louis XIV to secure the occupied Lorraine territories. Based on the plans of Thomas de Choisy and the great builder Sébastien le Prestre de Vauban, an almost regular fortification with six bastions was built.
