The Ducal Palace of Nancy dates back to the 15th century and was the residence of the Dukes of Lorraine. Today it locates the Musée Lorrain, dedicated to the art, history and popular traditions of Lorraine until the early 20th century.

In the 18th century the palace was enlarged and embellied in Baroque style.  It was also the residence of Stanislaw Leszczynski after the Habsburgs exchanged Lorraine for Tuscany, which brought the former under French control. After Stanisław's death, his Duchy came into the hands of King Louis XV, his son-in-law.
