About the location

Cité de la Mothe-en-Bassigny

Bourg, 52150 Soulaucourt-sur-Mouzon

Haute-Marne
Grand Est

The old(former) citadel is on the municipality of Soulaucourt-sur-Mouzon, on a tray(plateau) which dominates the valley of Mouzon in 500 m of height. Called often Mothe-en-Bassigny, or Mothe in Lorraine, this city(estate) was based(established) on the location of a fortified castle in 1258\. Privileges were granted to the inhabitants of the city(estate) by the count of Bar, Thiébaut II. During quarrels committed(hired) between France and Lorraine, in 1645, the fortified town is destroyed.
