About the location

Château de Thuillières

172 rue Nicole de Finance, 88260 Thuillières

Vosges
Grand Est

It existed at the foot of the village, a medieval castle built by Simon de Thuillières in 1328\. The famous architect Germain Boffrand, whose main achievements in Lorraine are the castles of Lunéville and Haroué, bought the site in 1722 and built his own castle there. The castle is rectangular in shape. The facade overlooking the main courtyard and the village retains a severe aspect with a central triangular pediment. The one overlooking the gardens has an advance in half rotunda which dominates a porch with double ramp and a fountain Louis XIV.
