Flea Tower

Highlight • Castle

This emblematic 14-sided tower stands on a 2.5 to 3 m high circular foundation, in which many authors have suggested the remains of a Carolingian chapel. The tower is said to have actually been the keep of a castle built by the Counts of Luxembourg in the 16th century, corresponding to the size of the present castle courtyard.

It served successively as a residence and last refuge in the event of an attack, as an armory, a prison, and finally, in 1905, as a museum.

🏰 Thionville – A Border Town with History on the Moselle

Thionville (German: Diedenhofen) is located in northeastern France, not far from the borders with Germany and Luxembourg. The city looks back on a turbulent past – between the Romans, the Lorrainers, the Prussians, and the French. Numerous buildings still bear witness to this turbulent history: the medieval fortress, the Tour aux Puces (a former keep, now a museum), and the neoclassical buildings in the city center.

🚶‍♂️ Thionville is a starting point for exploring the Moselle Valley, visiting castles like the Château de Malbrouck, or natural sites like the Stromberg with its caves and rock formations.

🛤️ Due to its location on the Moselle River and its proximity to Luxembourg, Thionville is also an important transportation hub today – but as soon as you leave the city, you're immersed in a tranquil, green landscape full of cultural and historical discoveries.

Sicht auf die Schleusenbrücke

Highlight • Other

The lock bridge is only one of two bridges. The other is in a worse condition in comparison. Both had the function of controlling the frequent floods of the Moselle.

Porte de Sarrelouis

Highlight • Monument

The Saarlouis Gate was part of the fortifications of Thionville and guarded the route towards Saarlouis, where the next Vauban fortress was located. At times the gate was even used as a customs house.
