En un regard
Le château en bref
Romécourt Castle stands in Azoudange, in the heart of the Moselle region's pond country. Built in 1564 by Michel l'Enfant, it was for a long time known as the Kinthaus, a name that echoes the surname of its builder. In Lorraine it stands out for its almost exclusive use of brick: its Renaissance façade is decorated with lozenge patterns, while two dressed-stone doorways, known as the French and German doors, break this uniformity. The castle was remodelled in the seventeenth century and again in the nineteenth. Its chapel served as the parish church until 1793 and has housed the burial vaults of the de Martimprey de Romécourt family since 1698, a family closely associated with the site ever since. Around the house extends an English-style landscape park, within an estate of some 300 hectares of woodland and farmland.
