Culture and History
Turquestein-Blancrupt Castle has been documented since the 10th century. The ruins of an old castle of Turquestein-Blancrupt lie on a rocky promontory.
The Chapelle Notre-Dame de la Délivrance, the “Rose mauve,” is located in Turquestein-Blancrupt on the N993 in the Blancrupt Valley, which is crossed by the Sarre Blanche. Known as the “Rose mauve,” it is one of the seven sanctuaries of the “Sept Roses,” which can be discovered in Saint-Quirin and the municipalities dependent on the priory.
Individual visits to the Chapelle Notre-Dame de la Délivrance are freely possible, but only from the outside. The Monument des aviateurs commemorates the crash of a French military aircraft on July 2, 1937, outside the village of Turquestein-Blancrupt in the Sarre Blanche valley.
South of Turquestein-Blancrupt, along the GR5, lies the Borne Brignon site, near which the 47 km circular Chemin de bornes trail runs. The trail is marked by 166 boundary stones, all of which bear the coat of arms of Saint-Quirin.
