Castle Colombey
Located in Coincy, Colombey Castle was a castle in the ancient commune of Colombey, built by Baron Theodore de Tschudi in the 18th century. During the Franco-Prussian War it was placed on the front line in August 1870, it was burned down in October 1870, and completely demolished after the First World War. Nowadays it is difficult to find the castle in the middle of the park, which is only used for livestock, but its foundations have been preserved.
