Discover the city as it was built over the centuries from a fortified point.

This fortified point monitored a road-river crossroads on the Saar (bridge of Ancient origin) which gave birth to a market fed by the trade of salt of the Saulnois and flotation wood of the Vosges. This led to the construction of the suburb from 1716, a period in which the buildings extend beyond its walls.
The architecture, despite the fires and destruction of the seventeenth century, keeps the traces of this past. Fénétrange, the chief town of a barony, has kept a few houses where rich officers lived, a city where Catholics, Lutherans and Jews lived together, the patrimony is still today the witness: synagogue, Lutheran church, former collegiate church, Jewish cemetery, Catholic and Protestant Cemetery, Protestant and Catholic Presbyteries… city where craftsmen, merchants and peasants worked and lived in farms built next to small houses in the suburb, while inside the city, districts located rather in the lower part of the city still shelter small stables and barns (rue de la Cave, rue Stams et Wust).
