LOUPPY SUR LOISON'S CASTLE

This 17th-century Renaissance château was built for Simon II de Pouilly, Military Governor of Stenay, in his capacity as representative of the Duchy of Lorraine. The most interesting of its architectural features are its imaginatively-carved doorways and porches and its impressive dovecote. Visitors are taken round by the castle's caretaker, who shows them the two courtyards, the dovecote, the park and the chapel.

Allow 45 mins for the visit.
