Hôtel de la Monnaie (Vic-sur-Seille) This remarkable civil building, dating from 1456–1484, is often mistaken for a mint. In reality, it was probably the home of a wealthy money-changer, possibly the d’Hoffelize family. The building is a magnificent example of flamboyant Gothic architecture, with early Renaissance influences. The richly decorated facades and roofs have been protected as historical monuments since 1930.

In the heart of Nomeny lie the remains of a medieval castle that was once a strategic stronghold of the bishops of Metz. Built in the 12th century and fortified in the 14th century, the castle had a rich history until it was largely dismantled in the 17th century. Today, a few towers, walls and moats are still visible — silent witnesses to a glorious past.
