Three miles north of Vaucouleurs, on the road to Commercy, stands the castle of Gombervaux. Nestled in a valley, it draws its silhouette surrounded by wide moats. In 1338, Geoffroy de Nancy completely rebuilt the castle, which is the border post between France and the Empire. In 1366, we will give you a sumptuous banquet in honor of the signing of the Treaty of Vaucouleurs, between the Dukes of Lorraine and Bar and the King of France Charles the 5th accompanied by Du Guesclin. In 1843 Gombervaux, abandoned by his master will be sold to landowners. Originally, the building formed a square around the reinforced at each corner by a round tower, and dominated by an imposing keep-porch twenty two meters high court. Today and since 1989 Heritage lovers have created Gombervaux association to safeguard, restore and enliven the castle and its site. Every summer, young and old from all walks can be found on the website for two weeks of construction to give him the glory of its rich past. Guided tours by appointment.
