Réchicourt-le-Château

Réchicourt-le-Château (French: [ʁeʃikuʁ lə ʃɑto]; German: Rixingen) is a commune in the Moselle department in Grand Est in north-eastern France.

[3] Until French Revolution, it was an Imperial County, which was ruled by the Counts of Ahlefeldt (1669-1751), and later by the Dukes of Richelieu.

A narrow stretch of the Canal de la Marne au Rhin from locks 6 to 1 on the western side of the summit pound which caused delays to barge traffic led to the decision to build a new lock to replace them.

Because of this, boats heading eastwards pass from lock 7 to lock 2 and then onto the summit pound.
