Château de Hattonchâtel, Medieval castle in Vigneulles-lès-Hattonchâtel, France
The Château de Hattonchâtel stands on an elevated position, offering views across the Woëvre plain from its strategic location in northeastern France.
Bishop Hatto of Verdun established the first fortification in 860, which served as a stronghold and mint for bishops until Swedish forces destroyed it in 1636.
The castle's reconstruction between 1923 and 1928 by architect Henri Jacquelin incorporated Neo-Renaissance elements while preserving original 11th-century features.
The castle now functions as a hotel and event venue, providing accommodations and spaces for conferences, celebrations, and weddings throughout the year.
American benefactor Belle Skinner funded the complete restoration of the castle after World War I, saving this historical monument from permanent ruin.
