The towers on the west side emerged in the 13th century. The upper plate of the mountain rock was split in two by a moat and a new coat in the 14th century; so created a second atrium, a second access and a second elevator.

The castle was rebuilt in the 15th and 16th centuries for the use of firearms, inside Renaissance buildings were constructed. In the 20th century the destroyed facility was partially restored and taken care of by the Tourism Committee of the Moselle for the preservation of the remains.
