Château de Ville-au-Val stands in Ville-au-Val (Meurthe-et-Moselle), in the Grand Est region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

South of the Natagne valley, between Nancy and Metz, the château de Ville-au-Val stands on an almost square medieval plan flanked by four round towers. Remodelled in the 18th century under François de Lasalle and later altered in the 19th, it keeps an oval chapel with stucco decoration and a painting by Jean Girardet, court painter to Duke Stanislas. Owned by the same family since a Napoleonic general bought it in 1809, it is shown as a house still lived in.

What to know

The chapel, separately listed in 1995, holds stucco decoration and a painting by Jean Girardet.
The facades, roofs, gateway, the so called Bourgogne tower and some interiors are protected as historic monuments.
No opening hours or admission prices are given in the verified data.
The site lies close to the A31 motorway, between Nancy and Metz.
