In the immediate vicinity of Nancy, there is the beautiful Montague Castle built in the 18th century for one of the wealthy royal officials. Over the years, the castle has changed a lot of eminent owners. In the late 19th century, its last major reconstruction took place, after which it remains unchanged. In the early 20th century, the owner of the castle was the famous archaeologist Eduard Salin who kept a unique collection of ancient finds within its walls. The castle has been converted into a museum housing a rich collection of antique furniture and works of art in addition to archaeological finds.
One of the most beautiful places in the city is the charming Pepiniere Park. In the middle of the 18th century, there was a nursery used for growing seedlings on its territory. This green place was converted into a public park only by the mid-19th century. Currently, the park accommodates a puppet theater as well as many sports grounds and venues for holding concerts and other entertainment events.
An important religious site of the city is the Church of Saint-François-des-Cordeliers. It was built in the 15th century and originally belonged to the Order of the Cordeliers. After hundreds of years, the church retains its strict appearance. Many tourists are attracted by its unique interior decoration: the walls of the church keep wonderful murals as well as decorative elements of stone and wood.
