Château de Pange

Château de Pange is a castle in the village of Pange built along the Nied River, featuring a main residence crowned by a triangular pediment flanked by two matching pavilions. The buildings sit within landscaped grounds that give the property its distinctive form and riverside setting.

The castle was built in 1720 following plans by architect Jean-Baptiste Louis for Jean-Baptiste-Louis Thomas, replacing earlier medieval fortifications destroyed by fire in previous centuries. Its construction represented a renewal of the site as a noble residence in the Baroque era.

The estate served as a meeting place for European leaders and dignitaries who passed through its halls, shaping its identity as a site of diplomatic importance. These encounters left their mark on how locals view the place and its role in the region's past.

The property offers guided tours and visitors should contact ahead by phone to arrange their visit and confirm opening times. It is best to plan ahead as access is typically available only at scheduled times.

The gardens underwent a complete redesign in 2002 by landscape architect Louis Benech, who created themed sections throughout the grounds. These areas now display geometric hedges and restored moats planted with roses, connecting the gardens to the site's defensive past.
