Juvogny-sur-Loison was famous under the Ancien Régime under the name of Juvigny-les-Dames because of a Benedictine abbey founded in the 9th century by Richilde, wife of Charles the Bald. The relics of Saint Scholastica, venerated as the sister of Saint Benedict of Nursia, were placed there. Thirty-two abbesses succeeded one another at the head of this monastic abbey which prospered until 1792, when it was sold and fell into disuse. The Count of Vassinhac-Imécourt, owner of the magnificent castle of Louppy-sur-Loison (3 km) and nephew of the last abbess of Juvigny, restored part of the ruins and founded a religious boarding school for boys. Directed by the brothers of the Christian doctrine, this school enjoyed a certain reputation and had 223 boarders at the end of the 19th century. The building is now occupied by the Perce-Neige foundation. The former nursing home of the abbess which dates from 1624 is still visible on rue de l’Hôpital and gave its name to the street. Intended to care for the poor of the region, it is isolated from the convent buildings by a vast garden.

Juvigny has an impluvium washhouse, the basin is in the center and supplied with rainwater by an inward-sloping roof.

Municipality located in the Meuse department and crossed by the Loison. The village is known for its castle, the Château de Louppy-sur-Loison: one of the most surprising examples of the Renaissance style in the Lorraine region.

Rural building Located in Juvigny sur Loison in Lorraine Gaumaise, you will be charmed by this haven of peace and silence full of history, in the heart of rich and green nature. So-called “water” mills, known to the Romans before the Christian era, began to be used in France from the 6th century. It was a question of transforming the energy produced by water (running or falling) into mechanical energy using a hydraulic wheel which behaves like a real motor (the only one which will be in use until the invention of the steam engine). A transmission system will activate millstones which, by grinding it, will extract the flour from the grain. This milling process will spread wherever the hydrographic network allows it. Many will be provided with them, some “ordinary” mills of a lordship even forcing residents to grind their wheat there for a fee. In recent years, this old mill has been transformed into guest rooms and tables. The mill garden is an LPO (League for the Protection of Birds) refuge.
