En un regard
Le château en bref
The Burghof in Forbach, whose name means "castle farm", is the former estate farm of the Schlossberg. It was commissioned in 1900, during the German annexation, by the industrialist Gustave Adt from the architect Fritz Leidner, who designed a complex with a castle-like appearance. A second building campaign, in 1906, added a wing combining stables, carriage houses and the steward's residence. The complex is organised around two courtyards, reached through a gateway, and includes the Saint-Hubert Hall on the upper floor. Devastated by a fire in the 1980s, the site was rebuilt and supplemented with contemporary extensions to become the European Congress Centre, inaugurated in 1993. It today houses a restaurant, meeting, reception and exhibition rooms, as well as an amphitheatre with 400 seats. It should not be confused with the neighbouring Adt Castle nor with the medieval ruins of the Schlossberg.
