Maison des Sept Péchés Capitaux – Renaissance with a wink
4 Place Duroc, 54700 Pont-à-Mousson
On the edge of the lively Place Duroc stands a house with a name that captures the imagination: the House of the Seven Deadly Sins. Built in the Renaissance, this building stands out for its elegant façade and mysterious reputation.
The name refers to the seven deadly sins of Christian morality and contributes to the charm and character of the building.
Since 1920, the house has been protected as a Monument Historique, and is one of 38 listed buildings around the square. Today it is privately owned, but the façade remains a popular photo opportunity for those walking through the historic heart of Pont-à-Mousson.
📍 Tip: Combine a visit to this house with a coffee break on the square – and try to spot the seven sins in the facade details yourself.

Place Duroc, the triangular-shaped central square, is all surrounded by arcaded buildings from the 16th and 18th centuries, including the Town Hall, from 1788, and the valuable House of the Seven Deadly Sins, from the 16th century.
The house is an elegant Renaissance construction. Upstairs there are windows with the caryatids of the Seven Deadly Sins, which give the building its name.
