Origin and history

Le Poncelot de Joinville is a listed monument located in the commune of Joinville, Haute-Marne, in the Grand Est region. This bridge, known as "Poncelot", was inscribed in the Historical Monuments by ministerial decree on October 13, 1942. Its location, although considered satisfactory (note of 7/10), remains approximate, with an address indicated as 9001 Rue du Pontcelot.

Le Poncelot belongs to Joinville, whose Insee code is 52250. This type of structure, typical of medieval or pre-modern works, often played a crucial role in local exchanges, facilitating travel and trade. In the historical context of Champagne-Ardenne, bridges were strategic elements for villages, connecting communities and supporting the rural economy.

Available sources, including Monumentum, confirm its status as a Historic Monument, but do not specify its exact period of construction. The Creative Commons license associated with the monument photo suggests accessible documentation, although limited to the administrative and geographic information provided.
