Château de Luttange, Castle in Luttange, France
The Château de Luttange is a castle in the Moselle department, in the Grand Est region of France. It has a square plan with four corner towers, three round and one square keep, and its south and west facades incorporate 16th-century elements from another castle.
The castle dates back to the 14th century and was originally held by the Luttange family. In 1539, Emperor Charles V bought it and gave it to his chamberlain and court painter, Jean Monet, and it later passed to other families who modified its interior and facades.
The castle is now home to an escape game, which brings a new way to explore its rooms and towers. The association Les Amis du château de Luttange organizes events and activities that keep the site connected to village life.
The castle is partly a private residence and partly used for activities, so visitors should check locally for opening times and guided tours. The exterior can be seen from the village, and the climb to the castle offers views over the Moselle valley.
The south and west facades incorporate a 16th-century watchtower, an oriel, and a bretèche that were moved here from the Château de Daspich in Florange. Also, a drawing from 1590 shows a tower called Tour de Lucy that had already disappeared by then, though its name still marked the spot.
