Considered by some to be one of the most beautiful castles of the 19th century, it was built in a neo-Louis XIII style between 1882 and 1887 on the ruins of an old castle destroyed during the Battle of Villersexel in 1871. Its furniture dates also from this period. Now private, it can be visited between April and October. It also serves as a reception venue for weddings or events.

The cycle path passes right next to this old station. It no longer serves this purpose and there is no entrance (a fence will deter you), however, it now appears to be a small office building.
