Commercy, Summer residence of King Stanislas
Former capital of a sovereign Principality which fell to Charles Henri of Lorraine, Count of Vaudémont, legitimised son of Duke Charles IV of Lorraine.
At the end of the war of succession in Poland, Lorraine and Barrois were ceded for life to Stanislas Leszczynski, deposed king of Poland but also father-in-law of King Louis XV of France. The Dowager Duchess Élisabeth Charlotte of Orléans, widow of Duke Leopold I, obtained the sovereignty of the Principality. She made the Stanislas Château in Commercy her residence until her death in 1744.
The Stanislas Château and its gardens then passed to Stanislas Leszczynski, and are famous for being one of the favourite residences of the ex-King of Poland.
