Origin and history

This house located in Neufchâteau, in the Great East, was built in the second half of the eighteenth century, under the reign of Louis XVI. Its anterior elevation, made of cut stone, illustrates the architectural characteristics of this period, with bays covered with straight lintels to softened intrados, typical of the region between the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century.

In 1807, the house was enlarged on the courtyard and provided with a body in return, as evidenced by the date on the structure. These changes were made for Jean Joseph Sébastien Regnauld, retired infantry captain, who was probably the sponsor. The street façade and the corresponding roof section were inscribed in the Historical Monuments by order of 19 January 2000.

Architectural details, such as intrados straight lintels with lateral softening, reflect the local stylistic influences of the first two decades of the 19th century. This house thus bears witness to the architectural evolutions between the end of the Ancien Régime and the beginning of the Empire, while retaining characteristic elements of the Louis XVI style.
