Seventeenth century castle that was a residence of royal pleasure, restored and became the seat of the municipality and various administrations

Château de Commercy was owned by Cardinal de Retz in the 17th century, by Count de Lorraine-Vaudémont in the early 18th century, then by Duke Stanislas Leszczyński, former King of Poland. The latter made it a prestigious residence for royal pleasures: Voltaire, Saint-Lambert and their rascals spent a sumptuous summer here in 1748. Destroyed by fire in 1944, it was restored in the 1960s-1970s and today houses the town hall, library and several administrative offices. Exhibitions and events are held here regularly.

Très beau château à visiter
C'est une des anciennes résidences du roi Stanislas Leszczynski, roi de Pologne et duc de Lorraine, qui est la véritable richesse patrimoniale de la ville de Commercy. On y découvre un hall suivi de la salle d'honneur où se trouvent des expositions temporaires de la ville sur de nombreuses thématiques Ce château est entouré d'une terrasse arrière donnant sur les promenades au bord de l'eau. Grâce à Stanislas, la ville de Commercy est connue pour ses délicieuses madeleines, gâteaux réalisés à l'époque par sa servante Madeleine. Je recommande sans hésiter !
