Origin and history

The castle of the Grange, located in Manom en Moselle (Great East region), is mentioned as a medieval fortress as early as 1106. It belongs successively to the families La Grange, Soluvres, Chinery, Brandenburg, then Argenteau until 1701. Ruined during the Thirty Years' War, it was rebuilt from 1731 by Christophe Gomé des Hazards, according to the plans of architect Robert de Cotte. The Marquis de Fouquet acquired it in 1752, before he passed to Bertier's family in 1803 by marriage.

Ranked a historic monument in 1984, the castle preserves medieval elements (doves, cellars) and 18th century interior decorations (sculptures, coat of arms, faience stoves). Occupied and damaged during the two world wars, it has been restored since 1950. Its park, redesigned by Franck Neau, houses the Jardin des Prairiales, famous for its flowers and boxwoods, and integrated into the Jardins sans Limites network.

The castle welcomed personalities such as Casanova, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and Colonel de Gaulle. Despite the annexation of Alsace-Lorraine in 1871, Bertier's family remained the owner until 1912, before buying it back in 1919. Today, it is distinguished by its period furniture, its classified outbuildings (pigeon, farm, stable) and its terraces adorned with lions and chimeras of stone.

The architecture combines 18th-century houses with 19th-century additions (new house of 1856, houses of Algiers and guardian). The protected interiors include a paneled library in the old chapel, Empire lounges, and a kitchen with a bread oven. The site, open to visits, illustrates the evolution of a Lorrain seigneury in aristocratic residence, marked by family alliances and successive restorations.

Future

Located halfway between Metz and Luxembourg City, the castle and its Jardin des Prairiales are open to visitors.
