Origin and history

The Maison Louis, located in Dancevoir in the Haute-Marne department, is a historical monument dated the 3rd quarter of the 16th century. This building, registered by decree of 1 June 1993, now belongs to the commune. Its architecture reflects the characteristics of bourgeois or notable houses of this period, although the stylistic details are not specified in the available sources.

The location of Maison Louis at 74 Rue de Verdun is estimated with a priori satisfactory accuracy (note 6/10). This type of residence, typical of the villages of the Champagne-Ardenne region (now Grand Est), could serve as a residence for wealthy families or play a role in local economic life, as a place of commerce or crafts. At that time, the Haute-Marne was marked by a rural economy and limited exchanges, where stone houses often symbolized some prosperity.

Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum Base, indicate that Louis House is protected for its heritage interest. No information is provided on its current use (visit, rental, guest rooms) or on any historic owners or occupants.
