Mussy-sur-Seine: the history of a former town of the bishops of Langres
1153 – The town is already surrounded by moats.
1186 – Philippe Auguste spends three days within Mussy's walls, which allow fairs to be held there.
1232 – A castellan is recorded at Mussy, a sign that a castle existed.
13th century – The church of Saint-Pierre-ès-Liens is built; it was listed as a historic monument in 1840.
1255–1464 – After wars against Burgundy, Mussy is placed under the duchy's authority.
1431–1433 – During the Hundred Years' War, the English-held château is retaken by Charles VII, then besieged by the Duke of Burgundy.
1617 – A fire ravages the bishops' château.
1790 – Mussy, until then Mussy-l'Évêque, becomes part of the Aube département.
August 1944 – Fighting pits the Mussy-Grancey Resistance fighters against German forces; the Aube Resistance Museum keeps the memory alive.
Before the Revolution the commune was called Mussy-l'Évêque, as its lord was the Bishop of Langres. The episcopal château was largely demolished after being sold as national property; the bishop's bedchamber and library were turned into the town hall. This information concerns the village: the Expedia listing does not say whether the accommodation occupies one of these buildings.
Mussy has kept many traces of this past: a salt store from the 15th and 16th centuries, the Canons' House (16th century), the 16th-century Pity cross, market halls restored in the 19th century and a lime-lined promenade. The commune lies within the Champagne appellation area.
