Interesting chateau being renovated by an association. Temporary exhibitions and an escape game enrich the building.

Congratulations also to the former mayor of Luttange, M Hans Raymond, who for 1 symbolic franc bought this castle for the town and started the renovation work.

We entered curious ... and very good surprise, we had a very friendly welcome and the right to visit part of the castle in the company of volunteers, who are renovating the place with a lot of heart!

Surprising, not to say extravagant, this romantic-looking castle in the heart of the village... The team that is working to restore it deserves all the praise, even if concrete often replaces stone. The exterior of the castle looks good, and the ornamental plants on the facades are a good idea. The interior is more questionable, and the showrooms are rather poorly lit. Well worth a detour...and to be reviewed as the renovations progress.

Jan Hus Memorial

The Jan Hus Memorial stands at one end of Old Town Square. The huge monument depicts victorious Hussite warriors and Protestants who were forced into exile 200 years after Hus, and a young mother who symbolises national rebirth. The monument was so large that the sculptor designed and built his own villa and studio where the work could be carried out. It was unveiled in 1915 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Jan Hus' martyrdom. The memorial was designed by Ladislav Šaloun and paid for solely by public donations.

Born in 1369, Hus became an influential religious thinker, philosopher, and reformer in Prague. He was a key predecessor to the Protestant movement of the sixteenth century. In his works he criticized religious moral decay of the Catholic Church. Accordingly, the Czech patriot Hus believed that mass should be given in the vernacular, or local language, rather than in Latin. He was inspired by the teachings of John Wycliffe.
