Château d’Euvezin – Fortified heritage in a bend of the Rupt-de-Mad. Located in the village of the same name, the Château d’Euvezin is a fortified manor house with roots in the 15th century. The current building was probably built for Antoine de Rozières, an influential magistrate, and is part of a network of defensive sites in the Pays Messin. The castle is recognizable by its massive main body, flanked by two square towers, and a steep saddleback roof with tall chimneys. The facades feature cross windows and Gothic details. Originally, the estate also included a chapel, dovecote, mill, and various agricultural buildings – some of which were later transformed into the current town hall and houses. Remarkably, the castle survived the First World War virtually unscathed, protected by a nearby hill while the village was badly hit.

Proud stones on a proud hill 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.

Symbolic fortress of the Dukes of Lorraine, the name of this castle has become the war cry of the princes "Prény! Prény!". Dominating the Moselle valley from its spur, the castle benefits from a large enclosure around the lower courtyard in which the village developed and the eastern small, isolated from the village by a large ditch, and which constitutes the largest part. strongest on the site. This place constitutes one of the northern locks of the Dukes of Lorraine, in a region largely held by the Counts of Bar who particularly enjoy the neighboring castle of Mousson. Undoubtedly built in the 12th century to guard the abbey of Sainte-Marie-aux-Bois, the Dukes of Lorraine remain attorneys of this religious establishment. The warmand keep or tower constitutes the most impressive element of this castle with its pentagonal shape, its thick walls and its great height.

The castle of Prény is an old fortified castle which overlooks the town of the same name. Few traces evoke its origin and affiliations. The impressive building is however registered on the list of historical monuments in 1862.

One day off. A trip to the ruins of Mouisson and swimming a few lengths to relax was a beautiful day.

Dieulouard is also a good place to stop the pilgrimage, as there is a train connection and frequent buses to Pont-à-Mousson.
