Ancien chateau
de nomeny

The old town of Nomeny was the property of the bishops of Metz until the mid-16th century. The fortifications remained until the 17th century. Built between 1335 and 1365, its ramparts were destroyed on Richelieu's orders. Its Romanesque fortress (11th century) and its Gothic castle (14th century) were destroyed on Louis XIV's orders. Of the fortress that once existed, only remain the relics of three towers, three curtain walls between two bastions, two fortress moats and the cobblestones of the castle courtyard.
