Origin and history

Château Anthoine is a house located in Vandoeuvre-lès-Nancy, Meurthe-et-Moselle department, in the Grand Est region. This monument, built in the 16th century, belonged to a family of ducal officers. It was modified in the 18th century, then in the early 19th century, reflecting several architectural periods. Today, it is a private property that is not visiting, but some parts of which are protected as historical monuments.

The north-east facades and roofs of the castle, as well as its two corner towers, were included in the inventory of historical monuments by order of 4 April 1996. This protection also extends to the facades and roofs of the wings in return, the staircase with its glass cage, as well as the fence wall and the garden. These architectural elements reflect the historic and heritage significance of the site, although access to the site remains restricted.

The castle is located at 50-52 Gambetta Street, in a central area of Vandoeuvre-lès-Nancy. Its history is linked to the ducal administration of the region, typical of the influential families of Lorraine in modern times. Subsequent transformations, especially in the 18th century, illustrate the evolution of architectural tastes and residential needs of local elites.
