Origin and history
The House of the 16s, located in Ceffonds in the Great East, is a 16th century monument. It is classified as Monument Historique, with specific protection for its facades and roof, registered by decree of 17 February 1928. This type of civil architecture reflects Renaissance construction styles and techniques in Champagne-Ardenne, a region marked by a transition from the Middle Ages to the modern era.
At that time, bourgeois or notable houses, like this one, played a central role in local life. They often served as a place of residence for wealthy families, merchants or successful artisans, while embodying the social and economic prestige of their owners. In the rural context of the Haute-Marne, these buildings also testify to the cultural and commercial exchanges that animated the region, between agriculture, crafts and the emergence of the first industries.
