Origin and history

The house located at 5 rue Saint-Epoing in Nogent-sur-Seine is an 18th-century building, typical of the civil architecture of this period. It is distinguished by remarkable elements such as its door, including the vantals, as well as the balcony that surmounts it, both protected by an inscription under the title of Historical Monuments since 1929. These architectural details reflect the know-how and decorative styles in vogue in the Enlightenment century, often associated with the beautification of urban facades.

The building is now owned by an association, although its current use (visits, rentals, guest rooms) is not specified in the available sources. The location, noted as "passable" (level 5/10) in the Merimée base, corresponds to the official address of the municipality of Nogent-sur-Seine, in the Aube department, in the Greater East region. This monument thus illustrates the preserved built heritage of this city, marked by its Champagne history.

The 1929 inscription underlines the heritage importance of this building, although the archives do not mention the name of the architect or that of the first owners. The protection concerns only specific elements (door and balcony), suggesting that the rest of the building, although contemporary, was not considered as remarkable. The Creative Commons license associated with the photo of the monument facilitates its dissemination and cultural enhancement.
