Culture
The medieval village of Rodemack is listed in the French register of historic monuments. Its fortifications include the Porte de Sierck, which was built by the villagers in the 14th century. The citadel was built on the foundations of a medieval castle founded by the lords of Rodemack in the 12th century.
The Chapelle Notre-Dame currently contains a statue on the theme of “The Education of the Virgin”. Outside the chapel is a Calvary cross dating from the 18th century, depicting Saint Roch and Saint Sebastian.
Approximately 700 metres of Rodemack’s town walls have been preserved and are visible; they are 6 to 9 metres high. Six flanking towers of the fortifications have also been preserved. A covered way that partly follows the town walls offers visitors views of the garden and the village.
The terrace of the officers’ pavilion at the Citadel of Rodemack offers extensive views over the village and the Pays des Trois Frontières. The Jardin médiéval along the walls of the medieval town is freely accessible year-round. A combined guided tour of the citadel and the village of Rodemack lasts 1 hour and 30 minutes, is available year-round on request, and begins in front of the Office de Tourisme de Cattenom et Environs.
Nature
The Jean-Marie-Pelt Loop leads from the medieval town of Rodemack through the Moselle countryside and across the sandy grasslands of Grund. Along the loop, information panels and observation games provide insights into trees, stinging nettles, and living hedgerows.
The landscape park in Rodemack was created in 1920 by Jeanne de Gargan using plants she brought back from her travels. It contains 41 tree species, including a remarkable catalpa; one third of them are conifers.
