Tips from the Community
Two farms were located on the old path between Metz and Peltre, the Haute Bévoye and the Basse Bévoye. The Haute Bévoye, on a hill, is a fortified farm documented from the early 14th century. In 1404, it belonged to "Jehan Xaippey", i.e. Jean de Raigecourt, known as Xappel; 12 cattle and 8 horses were raised there at the time. In addition to an 18th-century dwelling and farm buildings, the layout of the medieval castle remains legible, with four rectangular wings surrounded by a moat; two wings and three towers recall the initial state. https://melodi.univ-lorraine.fr/s/projet-cite-de-metz/item/2973

The fort is still maintained as a historical memorial. The inner fortress is actually more of a small park - with playgrounds and picnic areas. The still recognizable building ruins serve as a refuge for bats. The very extensive area around it is surrounded by hiking trails, the fortress walls and, above all, the deep defensive ditch are always present.

The origin of “Pont-à-Domangeville is lost in the mists of time. The Roman road from Metz to the Rhine already passed through there. Under the old regime, it was a tiny separate lordship, with a toll bridge. Usually blocked and padlocked, to cross it you had to pay a fee, depending on the livestock and products passed through. The lordship belonged in the 13th century to the Saint-Vincent de Metz abbey, then to the successive lords of Domangeville; in 1716, to the Laubrussels, then to the Leuryses, finally to the Thomas de Pange. It included, in addition to the bridge, the road - 50 toises on this side, 18 beyond - the bed of the Nied on both sides and, on the south-east bank, land with a hostelry (current Mayot farm) . In 1789, the community of Bazoncourt declared in its list of grievances “the enlightenment of the State and the kindness of the King will undoubtedly eliminate a right of final injustice perceived at Pont-à-Domangeville. However poor a plowman he may be, he pays three does and several pay without passing through.” After the revolution, the bridge had to be repaired. Paradoxically, the general council had the expenditure entered in the 1814 and 1815 rolls of the localities which had subscribed to the bridge in 1766. On this ordeal is inscribed: “This monument of our redemption was erected by the care of MM. De Pange, de Courten, Devaux and Dauphin, Commissioners responsible for the reconstruction of this bridge, in the year of our Lord 1816. During the reconstruction work and near the bridge, Joseph GRANDIDIER de Hernicourt and François ANIEL perished in the waters on July 20 from Domangeville, both attached to the service of the neighboring farm »
