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.
