About the location

Château et jardins de Haroué

Place du château, 54740 Haroué

Meurthe-et-Moselle
Grand Est

The castle of Haroué was built by the architect Germain Boffrand for Marc de Beauvau (1676-1754), close to the duke Leopold. The architect wanted to make it the symbol of the time that passes with its 365 windows, 52 chimneys, 12 towers and turrets and 4 bridges crossing the moat. The decoration was largely entrusted to eminent Lorraine artists: Pierre Barthélémy for the grilles, the balconies and the staircase, Barthélemy Guibal, sculptor of the fountains of the Place Stanislas in Nancy, for the statuary. Visitors can also admire a Chinese lounge and pieces of furniture originally ordered by Louis XVIII for his favorite, the Countess du Cayla, whose daughter married a Prince de Beauvau-Craon. The French-style park was designed by landscape architect Emilio Terry.
