Origin and history

The building at 7 rue Rigny in Toul (Meurthe-et-Moselle) is a building representative of 18th century civil architecture. Its most remarkable element, a cochère door, was protected by a registration order under the Historical Monuments on 17 July 1939. This classification reflects the heritage value of this work, typical of the monumental entrances of mansions or bourgeois houses of the period.

The location of the building, in the city centre of Toul, reflects the town planning of this historic city in Lorraine, marked by its episcopal and military past. In the 18th century, Toul was a dynamic city, integrated into the Duchy of Lorraine and then into the Kingdom of France after 1766. The buildings of this period often illustrated the social status of their owners, with sober facades but careful architectural details, such as carved stone cochère doors.

The available data from the Merimée database and Monumentum indicate that the exact address (7 rue Rigny) corresponds to the officially registered address. The accuracy of the location is estimated as "passible" (note 5/10), suggesting a clear identification of the building despite limitations in geolocation sources. No information is provided on its current use (visit, rental, etc.), or on any owners or architects associated with its construction.
