Castle overlooking the Mortagne, adapted to the cannon which was a new weapon, popular with young people with its cultural spaces in summer
It is said that the castle of Qui qu'en grogne owes its name to the bad temper of the inhabitants of Moyen. Historians agree today that a fortified structure already existed in Gallo-Roman times, up to the Middle Ages. In 1444, the bishop of Metz razed the castle to the ground and rebuilt a new one, the remains of which still exist today. The idea was to make this old castle a fortress adapted to a brand new weapon, the cannon. But the castle was dismantled by order of Richelieu in 1639, and the remains were then deteriorated during the Revolution of 1789. But there are still some interesting remains to be seen, such as the seigneurial house, the prison tower, the bishop's palace, the well, and above all the walls, which are still imposing in places. Every year the castle is taken over by young people during the summer period, who animate cultural spaces there. Overlooking the Mortagne from the top of its 270 metres, the Château de Qui Qu'en Grogne has not finished revealing its secrets. To be seen and seen again for this unique situation in Lorraine.
