Château de Bicqueley stands in Bicqueley (Meurthe-et-Moselle), in the Grand Est region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century, milieu 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
Bicqueley castle, built in the seventeenth century in Meurthe-et-Moselle, is distinguished by its restrained architecture and balanced proportions. The complex consists of a main body with nearly square plan, two pavilions framing a courtyard closed by a gate, and several adjoining buildings. The adjacent bakery, dated 1616, and the former servants' quarters with its characteristic Metz-style timber frame reflect the domestic organization of the period. The site illustrates the evolution of living practices and decorative styles from the seventeenth century to the early nineteenth.
