Wooden tower that gradually became a castle from the 12th to the 18th century, with an animal park, vineyards and playgrounds
Of the castle of Épinal, only a few vestiges and the large park remain. This one, former property of the treasurer Christophe Doublat, is accessible by the Chinese Tower of the 19th century. From the 12th to the 18th century, what was initially a wooden tower gradually became the town's castle. It then became a fortified enclosure overlooking the Moselle valley. The Thirty Years' War and the wars of Louis XIV marked the end of its prestige. Today, the castle is home to a wildlife park, vineyards, playgrounds and a riding school.

Une petite partie du château a été reconstruite. Son charme vient du grand parc qui l'entoure de verdure, de calme où l'on se sent bien. De nombreux animaux, des jeux et des animations qui font la joie des petits et grands. Un havre de paix.
Beautiful monument that has heydays. From the discounts in a state of some of the walls, the castle found a little its beauty. The medieval garden and vineyards that grow contribute to it too.
A monument to visit, but in ruins. Do not expect to visit fine pieces with hangings etc. But is nevertheless a place to see and do known. The view is beautiful.
