Castle overlooking the Mortagne, adapted to the cannon which was a new weapon, popular with young people with its cultural spaces in summer

It is said that the castle of Qui qu'en grogne owes its name to the bad temper of the inhabitants of Moyen. Historians agree today that a fortified structure already existed in Gallo-Roman times, up to the Middle Ages. In 1444, the bishop of Metz razed the castle to the ground and rebuilt a new one, the remains of which still exist today. The idea was to make this old castle a fortress adapted to a brand new weapon, the cannon. But the castle was dismantled by order of Richelieu in 1639, and the remains were then deteriorated during the Revolution of 1789. But there are still some interesting remains to be seen, such as the seigneurial house, the prison tower, the bishop's palace, the well, and above all the walls, which are still imposing in places. Every year the castle is taken over by young people during the summer period, who animate cultural spaces there. Overlooking the Mortagne from the top of its 270 metres, the Château de Qui Qu'en Grogne has not finished revealing its secrets. To be seen and seen again for this unique situation in Lorraine.

Des guides passionnés et passionnants, nous avons grâce à eux visité le château 5 heures durant sans voir le temps passer. Je n’ai jamais rencontré des personnes aussi investies, l’histoire de leur vie pour l’Histoire de ce site qui revit grâce à eux et aux bénévoles de l’association ( qui fête ses 40 ans en 2023). Allez au château Qui qu’en grogne, plongez dans le temps avec Monsieur Yves Richet et Jean-Luc, autour des pierres qui s’écroulent parfois, faute d’autorisation de les restaurer (si,si, quand est-ce que l’intelligence vaincra ?) toute une région revit jusqu’à la 1ere guerre mondiale.Bravo et merci, infiniment.
