Château de Montaigu stands in Laneuveville-devant-Nancy (Meurthe-et-Moselle), in the Grand Est region of France.

Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Montaigu Castle, built in 1757-1758 by Bon Prévost, receiver general of Lorraine's tax farms, centres around a chapel dating from 1625. Enlarged from 1765 onwards with an orangery, stables, dovecote and farm buildings, it underwent substantial modifications around 1869 under architect Jasson. Damaged by fire in 1921, the castle was restored by Edouard Salin, ironmaster and archaeologist, before passing to municipal ownership in 1975.

What to know

The castle is listed as a historical monument, with its facades, roofs and grounds receiving enhanced protection since 1958.
Montaigu Chapel, registered in 1934, remains in the park after being relocated during construction of the Nancy-Strasbourg railway line.
The park, though reduced by the railway, retains sculptural groups and decorative urns.
