Rehainviller: Hotel, castle history and hiking trails

Château d’Adoménil is a four-star hotel in Rehainviller, set in a seven-hectare wooded park. The château, church and marked hiking trails also offer different points of interest: heritage conservation, the history of Adoménil and the surrounding landscape. If you are considering the hotel for specific dates, check availability and current offer details directly before booking.

Château d’Adoménil: Hotel and heritage site

Château d’Adoménil is believed to have been built by Mathieu de la Haye from 1617 onward. It was listed as a historic monument by decree on 28 May 2015. The designation covers several parts of the estate: the façades and roofs of the main building and outbuildings, the chapel, and the press house with its cellar and the press inside. The park and garden are also included, along with the garden folly and greenhouse. The protected site therefore extends from parts of the buildings to the outdoor areas. Two perspectives help put the château into context: as a four-star hotel, it is a place to stay in Rehainviller; the heritage designation applies to the specified buildings and garden areas.

Local history and the church

Adoménil is mentioned in 1034; this date refers to a mention of the place, not to the construction of the château. According to a later account, whose accuracy is explicitly uncertain, construction of the château is dated from 1617 onward: it is said to have been built by Mathieu de la Haye. The two dates therefore relate to different historical questions: a mention and a presumed building period. Another milestone concerns the sons of Folmar II of Lunéville: they handed Adoménil over to the nuns they had installed at Saint-Rémy Abbey. After the Thirty Years’ War, the château and the estate farm were all that remained of Adoménil. The local history thus spans an early mention, the transfer to the nuns and a major setback after the war. Église de l’Assomption also offers two clearly distinct dates: it was rebuilt after 1918, while the image of Christ inside it was created by Bagard in the 18th century. The rebuilding relates to the church’s history, while the earlier date refers to the artwork.

Hiking trails and landscape

The Val de Meurthe – Le Fouxon hiking trail offers an opportunity to discover the surrounding heritage, wildlife, plant life and landscapes. Its themes therefore include both cultural and natural features. In addition, six other marked hiking trails are associated with the Club Vosgien “Air comme Rando” and the Communauté de Communes Meurthe, Mortagne, Moselle. For your travel planning, you can distinguish between the themes: the château and church represent architectural and art history; the Le Fouxon trail takes in heritage, wildlife, plant life and landscapes. You can therefore choose your focus based on whether you are more interested in local history or in the connection between nature and heritage.
