Château de Fléville

The Château de Fléville is a castle located in the commune of Fléville-devant-Nancy , Meurthe-et-Moselle, in Lorraine, France.

The current structure was completed in 1533 in the French Renaissance style, but includes a donjon built in 1320. Fléville was one of the few châteaux in Lorraine spared by Cardinal Richelieu (acting on the orders of Louis XIII) after the Thirty Years' War.

Fléville's architecture is mostly typical of the early French Renaissance--however, it includes an unusual balcony running along the entire façade that reflects the influence of Italian architecture of the time on Lorraine. It was built around the ruins of an earlier feudal castle, including a moat that has long since been drained. The entire Château, including the furnished interior, is open to the public and includes several rooms dedicated to the history of Lorraine.

The castle is open to the public from 14h to 19h in 2015:
- May 1 - November 12: weekends and holidays
- 1 July - 1 September: daily
