DUKES OF LORRAINE

This castle is a masterpiece of the last two Dukes of Lorraine, Leopold I and Stanislas Leszczynski.

Wishing to withdraw from Nancy , it was in 1702 that the Duke of Lorraine, Léopold I, chose Lunéville to settle there with his court. Nephew of Louis XIV , known as the " Sun King ", he greatly admires him and dreams of equaling him. He therefore had Germain Boffrand a sumptuous château there, a replica of that of Versailles . The castle will remain his residence until his death in 1729.

It was in 1737 that his successor, Stanislas Leszczynski , new Duke of Lorraine , settled there, and found in this place a place where he could end his life peacefully.

Despite the flames of January 2003, the castle has retained its 18th century appearance and remains a historic monument .

Opening hours of the restored rooms:

Free visits every day of the week from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.
