CHÂTEAU STANISLAS IN COMMERCY

55200 COMMERCY

All that remains of the Castle of the Damoiseaux de Commercy are parts of the outside wall, re-used at the end of the 17th century as the base for a princely dwelling. Work was by the Cardinal de Retz, the last Damoiseau (squire), exiled to his lands in Commercy by Louis XIV. It was here that he
wrote the “Mémoires” which made him famous.
The Prince de Vaudémont was the real creator of the Chateau de Commercy. A friend of the Duc d’Orléans, he used his architects, Germain Boffrand and Nicolas Dorbay, who gave the building its present form and designed its extension into the town, the “Fer à Cheval” square and Avenue Stanislas. The King of
Poland added the two lower wings, designed by
Emmanuel Heré. Sound byte trail called “A walk
round Château Stanislas” developed by “La Chose Publique” company.
