Corner niche with its base: inscription by decree of 8 May 1939
Origin and history
The building located at 10 Inglemur Street in Toul, in the department of Meurthe-et-Moselle (Great East region), is a 15th century building. It is identified as a Historical Monument, although architectural details or its original use are not specified in available sources. Official protection specifically concerns a niche with its base, inscribed by ministerial decree on 8 May 1939.
This classification suggests a heritage value linked to decorative or symbolic elements, typical of the civil or religious constructions of this period in Lorraine. The location of the building, in the historic centre of Toul, a city marked by a rich medieval and ecclesiastical past, places this building in an urban context where the buildings of the 15th and 16th centuries were often linked to artisanal, commercial or religious activities. At that time, Toul was an influential episcopal city, integrated into the Duchy of Lorraine, and its architectural heritage reflected this prosperity.
The adorned niches, like the one protected here, could serve as support for pious statues or public devotional marks, common in the streets of the Lorrain cities under the Old Regime.
