Porte du 16s et écauguette : inscription by order of 3 October 1929
Origin and history
The Town Hall of Coiffy-le-Bas is a historical monument dating back to the 4th quarter of the 16th century. This building, located in the commune of Coiffy-le-Bas in Haute-Marne, is distinguished by remarkable architectural elements, including a door and a scauguette dating from this period. These parties were officially protected by a Registration Order dated October 3, 1929, highlighting their heritage value.
The monument is now owned by the municipality and plays a central role in local life. Although information on its precise historical use is limited, its listing as Historic Monuments demonstrates its importance in the built heritage of the Greater East Region. The location of the building at 4 Rue des Dames is approximate, with a cartographic accuracy considered fair (level 5/10).
At the time of its construction in the 16th century, public buildings such as this town hall often served as a gathering place for local administrative and judicial decisions. In a rural area such as Champagne-Ardenne, these buildings reflected social organization and communal power, while embodying the architectural evolutions of the Renaissance. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the historical and cultural dynamics of this period.
