Renaissance door on court: inscription by decree of 14 January 1927
Origin and history
The house at 13bis rue Jean-Roussat in Langres is an iconic Renaissance building built in the 16th century. This monument is particularly distinguished by its Renaissance gate, classified as Historical Monument by decree of 14 January 1927. The inscription concerns only this architectural element, stressing its heritage importance in the urban fabric of Langres.
The location of this house, in the department of Haute-Marne (Great East region), is attested by the Mérimée and Monumentum bases. Although the practical information on his visit or current use (rental, guest rooms) is not specified, his exact address is documented, with a geographical accuracy deemed "passable" (note 5/10). The building is part of the architectural context of Langres, a city marked by a rich medieval and reborn heritage.
The Renaissance Gate classification reflects the historical and artistic interest of this architectural detail. Available sources (Monumentum, Merimée data) do not mention sponsors or detailed history of construction, but confirm their protected status. This type of house, typical of the prosperous towns of the Renaissance, illustrates the evolution of styles and construction techniques in Champagne-Ardenne at that time.
