From the source
Château de Jaulny is a château at Jaulny, Meurthe-et-Moselle, in the Grand Est region of France. The recorded building campaigns date from the 12th, 13th, 14th, 16th, 17th and 18th centuries.

Editorial reading
Military occupation is attested from the twelfth century. The record describes the U-plan house, the enclosure wall built as a bastioned rampart in the second half of the seventeenth century, the eighteenth-century lodging set against the south wall and the sixteenth-century vaulted cellars under the west wing. The 1996 classification names the rampart with its base and the paved terrace, and the vaulted rooms under the main building and under the terrace. The terrace is the outdoor room the record describes.
