Door with side pillars (Case AC 511): classification by decree of 15 December 1980
Origin and history
The Dienville Cemetery is a religious building located in the municipality of the same name, in the Aube department, in the Grand Est region. Built during the 3rd quarter of the 18th century, it bears witness to the funerary architecture of this period. Its entrance, consisting of a door framed with side pillars, was classified as historical monuments by order of 15 December 1980, stressing its heritage importance.
The precise location of the cemetery is indicated as at 13 Rue du Cimetière, in the municipality of Dienville, whose Insee code is 10123. This monument, owned by the municipality, is representative of the rural cemeteries of the modern era, often located near churches or on the outskirts of villages. Its classification in 1980 reflects the desire to preserve a funerary heritage characteristic of Champagne-Ardenne, now integrated into the Great East.
Available sources, such as Wikipedia and Monumentum, mention that the cemetery is still in place and accessible, although practical information on visits or associated services is not detailed. The protected element, namely the door with its lateral pillars, is referenced under the cadastral plot AC 511. This architectural detail illustrates the attention paid to the entrance of cemeteries during the 18th century, when these spaces gained in structure and symbolism.
