Discover the medieval fortress Château de Moyen, where history echoes in its thick walls and eerie dungeons.

Château de Moyen, also known as Château de Qui-qu'en-grogne, is a historic hill castle located on the commune of Moyen, Meurthe-et-Moselle, in France. Its origins date back to the Gallo-Roman era, but the current fortress that stands today was built in the mid-15th century (1444), during the Hundred Years' War by Bishop Conrad Bayer de Boppart to accommodate the advancements in artillery. The castle features two concentric defensive walls, a vaulted cellar with barrel arches, and a prison tower inscribed with historical inscriptions. The castle fell into ruin during the French Revolution and has since been under restoration efforts since 1983. Today, visitors can explore the ruins, including the seigneurial house, prison tower, and defensive walls.
