The Château de Montaigu is located on the outskirts of Nancy, France. It was built starting in1757 by the General Receiver of the Farms of Lorraine. The residence was upgraded and expanded starting in 1850. Edouard Salin, a mining engineer and his wife Suzanne bought the residence in 1918. Afire caused significant damage in 1921. Salin and staff dragged the furniture out of the burning structure. The work they undertook respected the style but used new construction methods and materials such as the steel used in the roof.
The rooms contain furnishings in the style of Louis XV (16th century). There are painted wall coverings as well as painting directly on the plaster. You can visit only the ground floor.
