11의 에르베빌레가지 명소 & 주요 장소

In the village of Nonhigny you can take nice pictures, but it is especially the church that attracts attention. The Église Saint-Martin in Nonhigny is a village church with a special history. Although the current building dates from the 19th century, the portal dates from the 12th century and belonged to the original Romanesque church. This was largely destroyed during the First World War and partly rebuilt afterwards.

Many 18th-century houses and mansions are well preserved in the town. The most notable are: the presbytery, the Cabri house (30, rue Victor-Pierre), the Colin-Brice house (13, place Général-de-Gaulle), the Lafrogne house (51, rue du 18-Novembre), the Hôtel de Martimprey and the Hôtel des canoines régulieres de Domèvre (25 and 29 rue du Château).

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.

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.

The chapel dedicated to Saint-Joseph is in the shape of a Greek cross. It was erected at a place called “Le Calvaire”. The first stone was laid on August 16, 1858. It was the priest-archpriest of Réchicourt who presided over the inauguration on May 27, 1866. In 1879, priest Poirine donated the chapel and the oratory to the parish. This chapel surprises the visitor with the imposing facade ending in stepped edges up to the pinnacle supporting the statue of St. Joseph. A pilgrimage is organized every year on St Joseph's Day but the breath of the past is fading.

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.
