The palace was built between 1696 and 1700 by Pierre Bourdict, at the request of the Prince of Et and Lure, and the new abbot of Gorze, Philippe Eberhard de Loevenstein. In a baroque style, its staircases and fountains are classified and protected under Historical monuments. At the bottom of the inner courtyard, the staircase presents at its feet two sphinges (female sphinx) leading to a French garden, very pleasant in summer and accessible to visits.

Further afield, admire the astonishing water theatre, designed in the pure tradition of the th century, surrounded by stone statues of Jaumont (marins and divinités), recently renovated. In the same material, the bas-reliefs adorning the staircase are remarkable. Before leaving, take a look at the mascarons (grotesque stone masks) adorning the inner courtyard. The palace, successively transformed into a military hospital, cavalry barracks, asylum and then hospice, is now managed by the Care and Accommodation Centre. The tourist office offers (by appointment only) the chapel visits.
