At the top of the Butte de Mousson, 200 metres above the Moselle valley, lie the impressive remains of the medieval Château de Mousson. Built in the 11th century by the Counts of Bar, it was once a strategic stronghold that levied tolls on the trade routes between Dijon and Metz.
The castle was destroyed in 1633 on the orders of Richelieu, as punishment for the Lorraine resistance to the French crown. Since then, only the ruins remain: an oval wall, remains of towers, and the outlines of the chapel and living quarters.
