Longwy, Fortified commune in Meurthe-et-Moselle, France
The commune of Longwy sits at an elevation of 254 meters near the borders of Luxembourg and Belgium in northeastern France.
Following the Treaties of Nijmegen in 1678, Louis XIV commissioned military architect Vauban to fortify Longwy, transforming it into a strategic stronghold.
The production of artistic faience ceramics began in Longwy during 1798, developing a particular style with overglaze enamel decoration called émaux.
The local railway station connects travelers to major cities including Luxembourg, Charleville-Mézières, and Nancy through regular train services.
The ville neuve of Longwy received UNESCO World Heritage status in 2008 for its military fortifications designed during the reign of Louis XIV.
