On a limestone spur above the Vezouze lies the Château de Blâmont, built around 1200. Once the seat of the Counts of Blâmont, later a romantic castle and even a weaving mill. In 1944 it was badly damaged by American bombing. Today the ruins – with five towers – are a silent witness to centuries of history.
