The castle used to be a breathtaking gem and lived up to its purpose - a kind of architectural resistance against the German occupation. It is currently completely run down and is more reminiscent of a lost place. Apparently it was sold in 2021 to a Nancy-based company that wants to refurbish it (along with the chapel) and develop it into residential and commercial units. As of now (June 2023) not much seems to have happened.

Erected in 1905, the Château de Mercy was built in response to the architectural shift in the region under German occupation. It is thus possible to admire its clearly French style.

This typical castle of classicism was built in the 18th century. Property of the Pange family, it is entrusted to an association responsible for making it a house of arts, encounters and cultures. Besides the building, the gardens are also splendid. More information is available on the chateau website: http://www.chateaudepange.fr/.

This Protestant temple was erected in 1895, when Courcelles-Chaussy was occupied by Germany. In neo-Gothic style, it is distinguished by its rose window on the west side and its Greek cross plan.

Watch out for ruts (risk of falling)

The castle is privately owned. However, there is the possibility to visit the icon collection.

Religious works of art such as relics and icons can be admired in the castle. There are no regular opening hours, you have to register in advance - preferably as a group.

The Chateau de Mercy is a real eye-catcher! Unfortunately, it is dilapidated, a real lost place! Update July 2024: The chateau is currently undergoing extensive renovation.
