Château de Pierre-Percée

The site in the early 12th century was in possession of Agnès, countess of Bar and widow of the count of Langenstein.

The territory, which included the towns of Badonviller (which became the capital of the county) and Blâmont, became for several hundred years part of the hereditary property of the Counts of Salm.

The castle at Pierre-Percée was besieged for a year and fell into the hands of the bishop of Metz with the death of Hermann's eldest son.

The castle was not besieged again until the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) when, being deserted, it was destroyed by Franco-Swedish troops.

State property, the Château de Pierre-Percée is listed as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.
