The fortress of the Bishops of Metz
- unique in Lorraine -
In the mid-15th century, Conrad Bayer de Boppard, Bishop of Metz, built the fortress of Moyen to defend his possessions. Discover its architecture in detail — the enclosure, the castellan's residence, the episcopal palace — on the The Castle page.
The history of the castle known as "Qui qu'en grogne" is an eventful one: it endured many sieges. The last, in 1639, is depicted in an engraving by François Collignon.
Discover the fortress, plan your visit, and follow the work of the volunteers who bring the monument back to life.
