Two farms were located on the old path between Metz and Peltre, the Haute Bévoye and the Basse Bévoye. The Haute Bévoye, on a hill, is a fortified farm documented from the early 14th century. In 1404, it belonged to "Jehan Xaippey", i.e. Jean de Raigecourt, known as Xappel; 12 cattle and 8 horses were raised there at the time. In addition to an 18th-century dwelling and farm buildings, the layout of the medieval castle remains legible, with four rectangular wings surrounded by a moat; two wings and three towers recall the initial state. https://melodi.univ-lorraine.fr/s/projet-cite-de-metz/item/2973

At the top of the Butte de Mousson, where the castle of the Counts of Bar once stood, the Chapelle de Lumière has stood since 1961 – a modern chapel made of glass, metal and concrete, designed by architect Robert Parisot. It was built on the site of the old castral chapel, which was destroyed by American bombing in 1944. The chapel is conceived as a "lanterne des morts" – a beacon visible from afar at night, like a lighthouse of memory. The structure is pentagonal, with an open front overlooking the valley. Inside, an expressive statue of Christ in hammered copper, made by sculptor Bernard Mougin, dominates, attached to a cross of metal beams. The floor is laid in Euville stone, and the altar and ambon are carved from Comblanchien stone. The chapel has been recognised as "Architecture contemporaine remarquable" since 2015.
