Origin and history

The castle of Pange, built in 1720 by architect Jean-Baptiste Louis for Jean-Baptiste-Louis Thomas, replaces ancient medieval fortresses destroyed by fires in 1404 and 1704. This lord of Pange, treasurer of the wars at Metz, was anointed in 1626 by Duke Charles IV of Lorraine. The estate became a marquisate in 1766 thanks to Stanislas Leszczyński, king of Poland and Duke of Lorraine. The castle, typical of classicism, presents a central body flanked by pavilions, with a terrace overlooking the French Nied.

A 19th century church, with ancient stained glass windows, adjoins the castle. The gardens, rehabilitated in 2002 by Louis Benech, combine classical heritage (cut and vegetated moats) and contemporary creations (graphic diagrams). Labeled a remarkable garden, they are part of the cross-border network Jardins sans Limites, supported by the European Union.

The castle welcomed historical figures such as Empress Marie-Louise (1813), Napoleon III and William I of Prussia during the 1870 war. In the 20th century, it will house a children's home (1945–1983) before returning to the Thomas de Pange family. Elements such as the 17th century barn, facades, or the Tapestries Lounge have been protected under the Historic Monuments since 1986 and 1990.

The history of the domain is also marked by personalities such as Jean de Pange (1881–1957), a pioneer historian of the European idea, or his homonym Jean de Pange (1917–1999), pilot of the famous Normandy-Niemen squadron. The family, still owner, includes among its members François de Pange and Anne-Louise de Domangeville, linked to the Lorraine and French aristocracy.
