It measures 11.70 m in the North by 14.70 m in the East and its height is approximately 30 m. It was sold in 1332 by Henry III to Adhémar de Monteil (Bishop of Metz) who built a castle around which Baccarat would be built. The castle was demolished in the middle of the 17th century by [[Charles IV, Duke of Lorraine]]. *The '''Town Hall''' in neo-Renaissance style was built in 1924 by architect Deville, inspired by Flemish houses. On the facade carved buttons represent the different skills of the crystal industry. The grand staircase is the work of Jean Prouvé. The entire building was completely renovated in 2004. The Town Hall contains many items that are registered as historical objects: **Framed Drawings (1947){{Palissy Icon}}<ref>Ministry of Culture, Palissy, Drawings: {{Palissy|PM54001379|PM54001379 The Church after its destruction in 1944}} {{Palissy|PM54001378|PM54001378 The Church after its destruction in 1944}} {{in lang|fr}}</ref> **Framed Paintings (19th-20th century){{Palissy Icon}}<ref>Ministry of Culture, Palissy, Paintings: {{Palissy|PM54001377|PM54001377 Waterfall}} {{Palissy|PM54001376|PM54001376 The Church in ruins}} {{Palissy|PM54001375|PM54001375 Champigneulles, a Lorrain village}} {{Palissy|PM54001374|PM54001374 A Lane overlooking a Valley}} {{Palissy|PM54001373|PM54001373 Lake and Village (River)}} {{Palissy|PM54001372|PM54001372 Lake and small boat (Bathing spot)}} {{Palissy|PM54001371|PM54001371 3 Birches in the Marsh}} {{Palissy|PM54001370|PM54001370 La Pexure: Stream in a village under a large tree}} {{Palissy|PM54001369|PM54001369 Mountain Landscape}} {{Palissy|PM54001368|PM54001368 Marine (or foam)}} {{Palissy|PM54001369|PM54001369 Birches in autumn with Mountain background}} {{in lang|fr}}</ref> **4 Chandeliers and 6 [[Sconce (light fixture)|Sconce]]s of Baccarat crystal (1925){{Palissy Icon}}<ref>Ministry of Culture, Palissy {{Palissy|PM54001366|PM54001366 4 Chandeliers and 6 Sconces}} {{in lang|fr}}</ref> *The '''Haxo Building''' contains a Painting of a Forest Landscape which is registered as an historical object.{{Palissy Icon}}<ref>Ministry of Culture, Palissy {{Palissy|PM54001380|PM54001380 Painting: Forest Landscape}} {{in lang|fr}}</ref> *The '''Community Hall''' contains two items that are registered as historical objects: **2 [[Chandelier]]s and 2 [[Sconce (light fixture)|Sconce]]s (1925){{Palissy Icon}}<ref>Ministry of Culture, Palissy {{Palissy|PM54001365|PM54001365 2 Chandeliers and 2 Sconces}} {{in lang|fr}}</ref> **2 Paintings: A Boar taken by a team of Mastiffs and The double blow (1886){{Palissy Icon}}<ref>Ministry of Culture, Palissy {{Palissy|PM54001364|PM54001364 2 Paintings: A Boar taken by a team of Mastiffs and The double blow}} {{in lang|fr}}</ref> *The '''[[Musée Baccarat|Baccarat Museum]]''' at 2 Rue des Cristalleries *An '''[[Arboretum]] and rose garden''' (Michaut Park - 7 hectares) behind the Hotel de Ville. *The '''Crystal fountain roundabout''' between the Town Hall and St Rémy de Baccarat *'''Fables de La Fontaine''', made of stained glass windows in pink sandstone frames, are installed in different areas in the city. *The '''Pôle Bijou'''
