Tips from the Community
Opposite the museum is a B&B: Moulin le Cygne. This is an excellent place to stay overnight. Both regarding the apartments and the very extensive breakfast. Moreover, the owners are very cordial.

Good views and nice to connect with history and religion, however on our tour the proposed route took us over some “roads” that were not suited to 4x4s or off road motorcycles that I used when I belonged to the TRF ( look it up online UK)

The wash house dates from 1830 and is part of the city's historical heritage and part of an important group of monuments. Around the wash house there is an abbey founded in 874, a church from 1774 whose choir is classified as a historic monument or even a former chaplain's house from 1634.

Renaissance castle, built in the 17th century for Simon II de Pouilly, military governor of Stenay, on behalf of the Duchy of Lorraine. Its architectural interest lies mainly in the portals and verandas carved with great imagination and in the imposing dovecote. You can visit it in the company of a guide who will provide all the historical information. You will discover the two main courtyards, the dovecote, the park and the chapel. Visit by reservation only for groups in July and August.

The first mention of the village in the archives dates from the 11th century (1093, Lopeium), according to Liénard (19th century historian). At the death of the Count of Bar, Thibaut I, in 1214, two towers were built in Louppy corresponding to two castles installed at each end of the promontory dominating the Loison valley. It is for this reason that the village subsequently adopted the name Louppy-aux-deux-châteaux until the French Revolution. (see map of Villeneuve from 1700 here) In the heart of the village, near the church, the imposing remains of a tower and a curtain wall are still visible. Originally the castle (commonly called the High Castle) appeared in the shape of a quadrangle flanked by four corner towers and once had deep moats fed by the nearby Loison. In addition to the defensive character of the building, its residential function seems certain, given the presence of a fireplace and benches under the windows. These remains undoubtedly date from the 13th or 14th century, but the first mention of a castle dates from the end of the 12th century as the property of the Count of Bar Thibaut I. Subsequently, the Lordship of Louppy was shared between several families until the arrival of the Pouilly family in the 16th century. During the Hundred Years' War, in 1379, the castle was partially destroyed.
