history

Tollaincourt Castle at the beginning of the 20th century

The village of Tollaincourt arose below a mountain spur near a ford on the Mouzon tributary of the Meuse. The history of the village is inextricably linked with that of the castle ( Château de Tollaincourt ). It belonged to the Tillancourt family , who came from the Meuse region. The last lord of the castle, Henry Tillancourt , was arrested and dispossessed during the French Revolution. A short time later he got the castle back and was released, but he left the castle, which had since been plundered. The castle grounds are now partially privately owned. The municipal administration ( Mairie ) is housed in the west wing . To the south of the castle are the remains of the old castle park.

In 1880, together with Lamarche , Tollaincourt got a station on the Nancy - Vézelise - Mirecourt - Contrexéville - Merrey - Chalindrey route (now line 06 of the TER Lorraine transport company ).

On January 1, 2017, the municipality of Rocourt was incorporated.
