The castle ruins are located at an altitude of 812 m in the domain forest Forêt Domaniale du Donon south of the hamlet of Salm on a spur of the height that leads to the mountain Tête Pelée (856 m).
history
The founding of the castle around 1200 is traced back to Count Heinrich von Salm from the younger line of the Salm family , who was the governor of Senones Abbey . The castle was the seat of the Front County of Salm . The castle was destroyed in the Thirty Years War and most of it was torn down from 1675. During the French Revolution , the ruins and the Senones area came to France, which added it to the Vosges department , and after the Franco-Prussian War to Alsace-Lorraine , where it remained until the end of the First World War . In 1898 the ruin was recognized as a cultural monument (now: Base Mérimée PA00084659 ). The Association des Veilleurs de Salm has been carrying out restoration work since 2004 . The ruin is owned by the French Republic.
