Château de Cons-la-Grandville, Medieval castle in Cons-la-Grandville, France

The castle stands on a rocky promontory, constructed from yellow limestone with Renaissance windows and defensive features on its northern and eastern sides.

Built at the end of the 11th century for Dudon de Cons, the castle underwent major renovations in 1572 under Martin de Custine's direction.

The grand hall displays a French-style ceiling, Renaissance fireplaces, and mythological scenes depicting Pyramus and Thisbe on its massive fireplace.

Since 1984, the castle has undergone extensive restoration work on its framework, roofing, structures, and woodwork, earning multiple restoration awards.

The castle maintains an unbroken family lineage since 1640, passed down through female inheritance from the marriage of Jean de Lambertye to Marguerite de Custine.
