Heritage classified

Origin and history

The Maison de Montrol, located in Doulaincourt-Saucourt in the Haute-Marne department, is a historical monument whose protected elements include the entrance gate as well as the facades and roofs of the two towers of the gate. These parties were registered by ministerial order in 1980, highlighting their heritage value. The exact address, 9 rue Toupot-de-Beveaux, allows to locate this site in a preserved urban environment, although the cartographic accuracy is considered satisfactory a priori (level 7/10).

Doulaincourt-Saucourt, commune of the Grand Est, is part of a territory marked by a varied architectural heritage, typical of the former regions of Champagne-Ardenne. Historical houses such as Montrol often reflect the local social and economic organization, where the porters and towers served as both prestige markers and checkpoints. Although available sources (Monumentum) do not specify the original use of this property, its listing as Historic Monuments demonstrates its importance in the regional built landscape.

Current data do not provide information on the exact origin of Montrol House, its sponsors, or its architectural evolution. No period of construction is mentioned, and the accessible archives are limited to its legal protection in 1980. The lack of details about its openness to the public or its contemporary functions (visits, accommodation) suggests private use or passive preservation, common for monuments in this category.
