Origin and history

The Hôtel des Fermes, located at 19 rue Leroux in Ligny-en-Barrois (Meuse, Grand Est), is a monument dating back to the 2nd quarter of the 17th century, with significant changes in the 19th century. Its facades, particularly those on street (including wrought iron balconies) and on courtyard, were inscribed in the Historic Monuments by order of 28 December 1928, highlighting their heritage value. The building illustrates the architectural evolution of Lorraine, combining classic 17th century elements with more recent additions.

The location of the Hôtel des Fermes, in the centre of Ligny-en-Barrois, reflects its historical importance in this commune of the Meuse department. The building, probably linked to farm administration or a notable civil function, embodies the urban heritage of the Greater East region. Its early inscription (1928) reflects the rapid recognition of its value, in a context where the preservation of ancient facades became a priority.

No specific information is available on the original sponsors or uses of the Hotel des Fermes. However, its structure and decorative elements (such as wrought iron balconies) suggest a residential or administrative vocation, typical of the private hotels of the modern era. The 19th century transformations could correspond to functional or aesthetic adaptations, common in the urbanly changing centres of Lorrain.
