Origin and history

The fortifications of Fontenoy-le-Château date from the second half of the 15th century and are an example of late medieval defensive architecture. The site is located in the commune of Fontenoy-le-Château, in the department of Vosges (Great East region), with a specific address: 4 Rue des Moulins. Among the preserved elements, the Tower of Lombards (cadastre C 557) was inscribed in the Historical Monuments by order of 23 December 1981, bearing witness to its heritage importance.

The location of the monument is estimated with fair accuracy (note 6/10) based on available data. Owned by the municipality, these fortifications may have played a role in local protection, although their exact use (defensive, symbolic or residential) is not detailed in the sources. No information is provided on their current accessibility (visits, events) or their specific conservation status.

Sources mention a Creative Commons license for associated visuals and a reference to the Merimée database, confirming its official status. The Insee code of the municipality (88176) and its attachment to the district of Épinal (former Lorraine region) complete the administrative data. No trace of a sponsor, architect or specific historical events related to these fortifications is available in the source texts.
