Why visit
Vannes-le-Châtel is the village of the Cerfav, the European centre for research and training in glass, and its glassworks were already working in the nineteenth century, when the château of 1610 housed their owners.
Origins and history
The name of Vannes-le-Châtel would appear for the first time in 622. The abbé Grosse wrote in 1836 that Vannes was a village at the bottom of a narrow valley, between two forests, on the road from Colombey to Vaucouleurs at the borders of the Meuse, with a grain mill, a lime kiln and «a fine château where the owners of the glassworks live». That château, built in 1610, had given its name to the village, which was called Vanna-le-Chastel and then Vennes; it stands about two kilometres from the commune and belonged in the past to the counts of Ligniéville, lords of Vannes.
