Bas-relief in stone dit de Saint-Jean du Châtel embedded in the facade: classification by decree of October 10, 1927
Origin and history
The Brouet building, located in Sorcy-Saint-Martin in the department of Meuse (Great East region), is a building built in the 16th century. This building is distinguished by a stone bas-relief, known as Saint-Jean du Châtel, integrated with its façade. This sculptural element was classified under the Historical Monuments by ministerial decree of 10 October 1927, highlighting its heritage and artistic value.
The monument is located precisely at 2 Rue du Château Emy, in the municipality of Sorcy-Saint-Martin, whose Insee code is 55496. The GPS location of the building is considered "a priori satisfactory" (note 7/10), allowing clear identification on modern maps. Owned by the municipality, the Brouet building does not have explicit information in available sources concerning its current use (visits, rental, accommodation).
The classified bas-relief, the only protected element mentioned, bears witness to the historical and religious significance of the site. The data comes mainly from the Merimée database and Monumentum, without reference to specific characters or events related to its construction or history.
