To make a day of it
Château de Roussy-Seigneurie stands in Roussy-le-Village (Moselle), in the Grand Est region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 16th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
The village of Roussy-le-Village is home to two distinct châteaux: Roussy-Seigneurie and Roussy-Comté, both listed as historic monuments. Roussy-Seigneurie, built in the 15th century, retains its keep, towers and vaulted cellars. Roussy-Comté, older since it is mentioned as early as 1131, is organized around three bodies arranged in a U-shape and displays architectural elements spanning from the late 15th to the mid-18th century. These two estates form an ensemble representative of Lorraine's castle heritage.
