Origin and history

The log house on the 15 Route de Paris in Clermont-en-Argonne is an emblematic building of the 16th and 18th centuries. Originally built in the 16th century, it underwent major transformations in the following centuries, especially in the 18th century when its earlier elevation was discovered. These changes reflect the evolution of architectural and aesthetic needs throughout the eras, while maintaining original structural elements such as characteristic wood panels.

Ranked Historic Monument by decree of 20 July 1990, this house illustrates the rural architectural heritage of the Grand East region, and more specifically the department of Meuse. Its listing in the Inventory of Historic Monuments underlines its heritage importance, although its exact location was considered to be of poor accuracy (level 5 of 10). The official address registered in the Mérimée base is the 15th road from Paris, in Clermont-en-Argonne, in the department of Meuse (code Insee 55117).

Available sources, including Monumentum, indicate that this house is part of a larger architectural complex, including protected elements such as those located in Vraincourt. However, practical information about its access to the public, such as the possibility of visits or accommodation, is not specified in the available data. Its current state and contemporary use therefore remain partially documented, limiting the understanding of its current role in the local community.
