Domaine du château de Landonvillers

The Landonvillers castle estate displays medieval towers rising into the Lorraine sky, adorned with Jaumont stone, pink Westphalia sandstone gargoyles and Art-Nouveau ironwork elements creating a distinctive architectural composition that captivates visitors approaching from the D71 road.

Built in the early 20th century between 1903 and 1905 by Berlin architect Bodo Ebhardt on the foundations of a 16th-century seigneurial house, the castle was transformed for German industrialist Jean von Haniel incorporating multiple historical architectural styles.

The castle embodies the architectural historicism movement by harmoniously combining Romanesque, late Gothic, Renaissance, Wilhelminian and Jugendstil styles, representing a thousand years of European architectural evolution within a single remarkable building that showcases German artistic diversity.

Listed as a historical monument since 1997, the castle remains private property belonging to Norbert Vogel who displays a collection of ancient icons from the 16th to 19th centuries in this private museum located on allée des Tilleuls in Courcelles-Chaussy.

This residence houses an exceptional collection of religious artworks including a Saint Michael Voevoda, reliquaries of Saint Felicien and the Holy Curé of Ars, transforming each room into a genuine spiritual artistic mosaic that reflects centuries of religious devotion.
