Château de Martigny

En un regard

Le château en bref

Martigny Castle, at Colmey (Meurthe-et-Moselle), is a fortified castle built in 1583 in the Barrois lordship of Colmey for Marguerite de Xivry, with the authorisation of Duke Charles III. It passed by marriage to the families of Wopersnow and du Han, and then to the Boissonneaux de Chevigny. A large residential house was added at the beginning of the 19th century. Of the original fortified house survive the west façade of the enclosure, with its central gatehouse tower, and the south-west corner tower. The main residential block, with a basement and a square first floor, has regularly arranged bays. The roofs, with long pitches, hips and half-hips, are covered in pantiles and slate, and the walls are of limestone, rubble and dressed stone. A moat and some fortified parts survive. Private property.
