On a limestone spur above the Vezouze lies the Château de Blâmont, built around 1200. Once the seat of the Counts of Blâmont, later a romantic castle and even a weaving mill. In 1944 it was badly damaged by American bombing. Today the ruins – with five towers – are a silent witness to centuries of history.

This serene place is the resting place of more than 5,000 French and German soldiers from WWI and WWII. The cemetery, with its simple stone crosses and impressive lead cross, is a reminder of the fierce fighting around Reillon. A place of silence, reflection and reconciliation, where history becomes tangible in the landscape of Lorraine. A large lead cross of 3.20 metres adorns the central memorial.

Between 1914 and 1918, Leintrey was occupied by German troops. The houses and the church were heavily bombed, life became unbearable and the inhabitants had to flee. Only two houses were still standing at the Armistice. Just 1.5 km from the village, French troops held out in their trenches, despite heavy attacks. On 10 July 1916, the Germans blew up mines under these positions - 83 soldiers of the 162nd regiment were killed. After the war, the village was rebuilt in 1925. The school, the town hall and the presbytery were designed by Joseph Hornecker, also known for the Grand Théâtre de Nancy. In 1940, a new occupation followed. Liberation did not come until November 1944, after further destruction, including the church.

Xousse was located near the former border between France and Germany (1871–1914), just 2 km away. In the run-up to WWI, this was a strategically sensitive area. In the area, old boundary stones can still be found that remind us of this period. The village was completely destroyed in 1914-1918 and 1939-1945: the population was evacuated. You will not find a memorial here, but a sober War Remembrance plaque on the church.

This ruined castle is one of the best traces of the history of Lorraine in the Middle Ages. Its 12th century keep and its 13th century flanking towers still exist today. The structure of its walls in opus spicatum (that is to say in the shape of ears) is also noteworthy.
