Dun-sur-Meuse

Dun-sur-Meuse (French pronunciation: [dœ̃ syʁ møz], literally Dun on Meuse) is a commune in the Meuse department in Grand Est in north-eastern France.

Among notable residents was the painter Hector Leroux, who was buried in the cemetery there.

[3] In the 11th century, Duke Godfrey III of the House of Ardenne–Verdun built a castle on the hill, which was expanded in 1402 with a fortified surrounding wall.

The castle was demolished in August 1642, as were many fortified locations in Lorraine, on the order of King Louis XIII of France.

The upper town was heavily damaged in the fighting of World War I.
