Origin and history

Plamion Hall is a rectangular wooden building built between 1819 and 1821, replacing an earlier hall destroyed by fire in 1720 (or 1739). It consists of a central ship and a sideboard, with a brick base topped by a half-timber. The gables are covered with slate, and the roof, with long panels with half croupes, is made of synthetic material. Modern additions have been added to the south.

The decision to rebuild the hall was taken in 1811, with the first plans drawn up by Mason Brugnon, Carpenter Loriette and Coverer Leroy. In 1817, the departmental architect Cottenet revised the project. The work, which was completed in 1819 for 8,720 francs, was received in December 1821. In 1828, architect Nicolas de Vervins pierced an opening on the north elevation, now closed.

During the First World War, the Germans closed the hall with a hurdles of bricks and used it as a despoiling establishment in 1917. Large to the south in the first quarter of the 20th century, it was listed as historical monuments in 1998. Today owned by the municipality, it functions as a party room.

The hall rests on a brick solin, and its half-timbering is closed by a hurdles of the same material. It was originally opened for practical reasons. Its typical Thiérache architecture makes it a rare testimony to the rural public buildings of the early 19th century.

The sources also mention an inner guard body, built in 1831 and now gone. The hall is located in Place des Templiers (or Place de l'Église) in Plomion, in the department of Aisne, in the Hauts-de-France region.
