Description
Established around 1094, the priory of Saint-Nicolas was attached to the Saint-Léon abbey of Toul. In 1537, Jean Forget relaunched the site, which consists of two buildings: the Logis (1541) and the chapel, built at the same time. Inside the chapel, there are 19th century murals in the base, as well as a 1946 work carried out by a German prisoner, Spychalski, in the eardrums of the arcs. In the house, the staircase represents the only visible element of the 16th century arrangements, with a square staircase integrating a screw staircase around a central core formed by a column on a high base.
