Parcel de terrain : classification by decree of 20 January 1932

Origin and history

The parcel of land located in Langres, opposite the Saint John Tower and surrounding the ramparts, constitutes a space classified as Historic Monuments. This site, whose location is estimated to be fair (level 5/10), was officially protected by decree on 20 January 1932. Its exact address, according to the Merimée database, is associated with the code Insee 52269, corresponding to the municipality of Langres in the department of Haute-Marne (region Grand Est).

The ramparts of Langres, of which this plot is close, are part of a medieval defensive heritage typical of the fortified towns of eastern France. This type of monument reflects the strategic importance of strong places in the region, often linked to military or commercial issues during the Middle Ages and later periods. Although details of its precise historical use are lacking, its proximity to the Saint John Tower suggests a role in the defence or urban organization of Langres.
