The castle of Vaudémont was in the 11th century for the counts of Vaudémont built. Only a part of the curtain wall and the donjon are preserved. The donjon is called Tour Brunehaut , "Tower of Brunichild ". Building materials from a building from the Gallo-Roman period (52 BC to 486 AD) were used in the construction of the donjon . Repairs were carried out on the structures in the 15th century. In 1639 the castle was built on the orders of Louis XIII. looped. In 1840 the ruin was classified as a Monument historique (historical monument) and in 1930 the donjon was restored.
