In the heart of Nomeny lie the remains of a medieval castle that was once a strategic stronghold of the bishops of Metz. Built in the 12th century and fortified in the 14th century, the castle had a rich history until it was largely dismantled in the 17th century. Today, a few towers, walls and moats are still visible — silent witnesses to a glorious past.
