Grand Est

The castle was built in the second half of the eighteenth century, by Gabriel de Messey, chamberlain of the Duke of Lorraine.
When Gabriel de Messey died in 1765, the castle had not yet been completed and it was not until 1788 that the first owner, Jean-Baptiste de Thumery, a colonel of the Régiment du Royal Lorraine, lived there.
During the Revolution, Madame de Bienville, daughter of the Colonel de Thumery, made the last arrangements, clearing the grounds surrounding the castle to create gardens and orchards. She had two lawn mats installed in the courtyard of honour, bordering a large main driveway.
The castle and its dovecote were listed as Historical Monuments in 1992.
The castle is currently being renovated.
