The best walks and hikes around Thiaucourt-Regniéville

Château d’Euvezin – Fortified heritage in a bend of the Rupt-de-Mad. Located in the village of the same name, the Château d’Euvezin is a fortified manor house with roots in the 15th century. The current building was probably built for Antoine de Rozières, an influential magistrate, and is part of a network of defensive sites in the Pays Messin. The castle is recognizable by its massive main body, flanked by two square towers, and a steep saddleback roof with tall chimneys. The facades feature cross windows and Gothic details. Originally, the estate also included a chapel, dovecote, mill, and various agricultural buildings – some of which were later transformed into the current town hall and houses. Remarkably, the castle survived the First World War virtually unscathed, protected by a nearby hill while the village was badly hit.

Symbolic fortress of the Dukes of Lorraine, the name of this castle has become the war cry of the princes "Prény! Prény!". Dominating the Moselle valley from its spur, the castle benefits from a large enclosure around the lower courtyard in which the village developed and the eastern small, isolated from the village by a large ditch, and which constitutes the largest part. strongest on the site. This place constitutes one of the northern locks of the Dukes of Lorraine, in a region largely held by the Counts of Bar who particularly enjoy the neighboring castle of Mousson. Undoubtedly built in the 12th century to guard the abbey of Sainte-Marie-aux-Bois, the Dukes of Lorraine remain attorneys of this religious establishment. The warmand keep or tower constitutes the most impressive element of this castle with its pentagonal shape, its thick walls and its great height.

The castle of Prény is an old fortified castle which overlooks the town of the same name. Few traces evoke its origin and affiliations. The impressive building is however registered on the list of historical monuments in 1862.
