Origin and history

Cormontreuil's 17th century house is an emblematic civil building of the second half of the 17th century. Located at 3 rue Pasteur and 2 impasse Gambetta, it was listed as a Historic Monument by order of 25 August 1994. This classification specifically concerns the house and its portal, identified under the reference cadastral AB 58.

This type of construction reflects the bourgeois or affluent domestic architecture of the modern era in France. In the Far East, a region marked by agricultural, artisanal and dynamic local commerce, the houses of this period often served as residences for notables or merchants. Their presence in cities like Cormontreuil, close to Châlons-en-Champagne, bears witness to the urban and economic boom of Champagne-Ardenne under the Ancien Régime.
