Come and discover a castle built in the fifteenth century and its site in which you can find a seigneurial house, an episcopal palace and remains of walls and towers.

Built by the Bishops of Metz around 1441, the Château Qui que en grogne has an eventful history with the Duchy of Lorraine, the Duchy of Burgundy, the Kingdom of France and the Holy Roman Empire.
It is, between buildings, walls and towers restored, a book of history very illustrated on the period of the Middle Ages in the seventeenth century. Surprising!

About the location

Château "Qui qu'en grogne"

9 Rue du Château, 54118 Moyen

Meurthe-et-Moselle
Grand Est

The castle "Qui qu'en grogne" was built by the Bishops of Metz in the 15th century. Its architecture is adapted to artillery. It thus has a particular military history until its dismantling by Richelieu in 1639\. Moyen is then located in bishopric land and is the chief town of a châtellenie not integrated in the Duchy of Lorraine.
The manor house, restored, hosts exhibitions: tools of the stonemason and the carpenter, agricultural museum, classroom 1900, exhibition "Vive la mule!" (donkeys, mules, mules and horses: traction, transport and portage).
