Château de Fléville

En un regard

Le château en bref

On the outskirts of Nancy, the Château de Fléville combines a 30-metre feudal keep, built around 1320, with a residence of the early French Renaissance completed in 1533 for Nicolas de Lutzelbourg by the architect Michel de La Chausse. Originally laid out as a square plan around a courtyard, with corner towers and a moat, the ensemble later adopted a horseshoe plan; its façade is distinguished by a long balcony, carved dormer windows and pilaster-framed windows. Passing from the Fléville family to the Lutzelbourgs and then to the Beauvaus, it is one of the few Lorraine châteaux spared after the Thirty Years' War. Stanislas Leszczynski stayed there in 1758. Acquired in 1812 by General Alexandre de Lambel, it still belongs to his descendants. The park of some twenty hectares, redesigned in the 19th century by the Comte de Choulot, is labelled a "jardin remarquable". Listed as a monument historique in its entirety since 2007, the château is open to visitors from April to November and hosts receptions and cultural events.
