"The Église Saint-Martin in Badonviller is a rare example of religious architecture in the Louis XVI style (1788). Although it is of Romanesque origin, its elegant façade is particularly striking, which is one of the few remaining examples of this style in the Lorraine region. Together with the Chapel of the Visitation in Nancy, this church forms a unique duo. The church was badly damaged during the First World War and partially rebuilt afterwards.

Very nice and well-developed cycle path.

An impressive building. It was nice that we were greeted with Edvard Grieg's morning mood. Unfortunately, I can't upload a video - the atmosphere was wonderful. The bike path along the canal is really good. I also took a few pictures for the trail view.

The place on the Romance-Germanic language border was first mentioned in 770, as well as in 1103 as Castrum Richis Curtis and in 1273 as Ruchesingne.[1] He belonged to the diocese of Metz.[2] As an imperial fief independent of the Duchy of Lorraine, the town belonged to the Counts of Leiningen from the 13th century. Belonging to German Bellism, their rule included Rixingen, among other things. the towns of Avricourt, Gondrexange (Gunderchingen) and Xouaxange (Schweixingen). During the Thirty Years' War, Rixingen was looted and devastated four times by the Swedes between 1628 and 1630. In 1667, Adolf Johann I of Zweibrücken came into possession of the imperial fiefdom of Rixingen through purchase; in the 18th century the Dukes of Richelieu owned the county.[1] Through the Peace of Frankfurt on May 10, 1871, the region came to the German state of Alsace-Lorraine, and the village was assigned to the Saarburg district in the Lorraine district. Rixingen was the canton's capital.[2] After the First World War, the region had to be ceded to France in 1919 due to the terms of the Treaty of Versailles and became part of the Moselle department. During the Second World War, the region was occupied by the German Wehrmacht from June 1940 to mid-1944 and was under German administration. On November 18, 1944, the place was taken by US forces in alliance with the 44th French Infantry Division,[3] which was followed by the battles for Alsace and Lorraine. Réchicourt-le-Château belonged to the constituency (canton) of Réchicourt-le-Château until it was dissolved in 2015. Unfortunately, it is not worth visiting the ruins of the château. Danger of collapse.

yes, the situation is very sad. On the side you can clearly see the advanced decay.

I don't know about you, but watching the boats go through the locks is never boring. It is always a good place to spend time.

Nice landscaped corner at the water's edge with several picnic tables.

The original church building in the Louis XVI style. was described as Little Saint Peter in Rome. The royal chief engineer François-Michel Lecreulx (1734–1812) built the building in 1787/88. Nine days after the outbreak of the First World War, on August 12, 1914, the church building burned down completely during the fighting. Reconstruction began as early as 1921. St. Martin soon had all four bells back with its remarkable round bell tower. The most powerful bell named Edith weighs 2150 kg. Its chime is reminiscent of Big Ben in London. Its organ is the work of Ernest Jacquot, an organ builder from Rambervillers. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badonviller Unfortunately, the church is mostly locked. The cemetery is above the church. Next to the church there are some rest areas and the square with its monument to the Resistance. From the edge of the square you have a view of the village. An impressive place. The mighty bells remind you of the passage of time every quarter of an hour.
