Origin and history
The cemetery surrounding the church of Consenvoye is a historic monument located in the department of Meuse, in the Grand Est region (former Lorraine). This site is particularly remarkable for its fence wall, which was officially classified by ministerial decree in 1932. The precise address recorded in the Merimée database corresponds to postal code 55110 and the municipality of Consenvoye, identified by Insee code 55124.
Cemeteries surrounding the churches were common in French villages, serving both as burial places and as community gatherings. In Lorraine, these spaces often reflected the social and religious organization of local populations, with fence walls symbolizing the delimitation between the sacred and the profane. The 1932 classification testifies to the heritage value of this wall, probably linked to its architecture or seniority, although the precise details of its construction or style are not mentioned in the available sources.
