Château de Mussy (Longuyon) stands in Longuyon (Meurthe-et-Moselle), in the Grand Est region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

On a wooded spur above the Chiers river, three kilometres from Longuyon, the ruins of the Mussy castle recall a stronghold first recorded in 1109. Dismantled after its final capture by French troops in 1670, the site lost its military role and gradually disappeared under vegetation. Only a few sections of wall and a vaulted, cylindrical chamber remain, reached by an unmarked forest track.
