caption_attribution_description: Français&#160;: Château des Rohan à Mutzig, Bas-Rhin Deutsch: Château des Rohan in Mutzig. Elsass. Das Schloss wurde ursprünglich als Residenz des Bischofs Franz Egon von Fürstenberg erbaut und 1673 bezogen. Nachdem die Familie von Rohan das Bischofsamt von Straßburg übernahm, diente das Schloss als Residenz der Herzöge zu Armand Gaston , François-Armand , Louis Constantin und Louis René Édouard de Rohan , zwischen 1704 und 1790. In den letzten Jahrzehnten aber nur noch als Nebenresidenz. Während der Französischen Revolution wurde das Schloss geplündert, enteignet und versteigert. 1799 wurde es von den Gebrüdern Coulaux erstanden. Vom 20. April 1801 bis 1870 (Beginn des Deutsch-Französischer Krieges) diente das Schloss als Waffenmanufaktur. Hier wurden die berühmten Chassepot-Gewehre hergestellt. Heute beherbergt das Schloss das städtische Museum von Mutzig (mit einer großen Gewehrsammlung) und verschiedene kulturelle Einrichtungen.
context_page_description: The House of Rohan is a Breton family of viscounts, later dukes and princes in the French nobility, coming from the locality of Rohan in Brittany. Their line descends from the viscounts of Porhoët and is said to trace back to the legendary Conan Meriadoc. Through the Porhoët, the Rohan are related to the Dukes of Brittany, with whom the family intermingled again after its inception. During the Middle-Ages, it was one of the most powerful families in the Duchy of Brittany. They developed ties with the French and English royal houses as well, and played an important role in French and European history.
  The only surviving branch of the family is the branch of the Rohan-Rocheforts, Dukes of Montbazon, Dukes of Bouillon and Austrian Princes of Rohan, who migrated in the early 19th century to Austria.
  Following his marriage with Marguerite de Rohan, only daughter of Henri II de Rohan, first Duke de Rohan, Henri Chabot, a descendant of the eldest branch of the House of Chabot, from Poitou, was made Duke of Rohan in 1648 and allowed to use the name Rohan-Chabot instead of his own, thus giving birth to the House of Rohan-Chabot.
