Origin and history

Tinqueux shooting stand is a historic monument located in the commune of Tinqueux, in the department of Marne (51), in the Grand Est region. It is located precisely at 12 Avenue on August 29, 1944. This building, listed in the inventory of historical monuments by order of 9 October 2024, is fully protected, including parcel 238 of the cadastre. It belongs to the Société de Tir de Reims, which manages it exclusively, with access strictly reserved to its members. No public visits are permitted, although room or park rentals may be considered upon request.

This type of monument, dedicated to the practice of sport shooting, reflects an associative and sports tradition rooted in some French cities. In Tinqueux, near Reims, this infrastructure is part of a historical context where shooting societies have often played a social and cultural role, especially in the twentieth century. These structures were (and sometimes remain) gathering places for sporting practices, but also for local events. Their preservation as historical monuments underlines their heritage importance, even if their use remains restricted to a specific audience.

The recent inscription (2024) of this shooting stand as a historical monument marks an official recognition of its architectural or memorial interest. Details of its precise history, architects or past uses are not mentioned in available sources. Only its membership in the Société de Tir de Reims and its exact address are clearly documented, as well as its current legal status. The accuracy of its location is considered satisfactory, with an address confirmed by both cadastral and GPS coordinates.
