Origin and history

The Château de Poissons, located in the commune of the same name in Haute-Marne (Great East Region), is a building whose architectural origins date back mainly to the 18th century. The monument is distinguished by the coexistence of a Louis XIII-style wing, including a tower and a doorway, and an 18th-century wing, reflecting the stylistic evolutions of this period. These elements, as well as an audience, commons, a water room and a fence wall, were protected by an inscription as Historic Monuments in 1986, attesting to their heritage value.

The precise address of the castle, 8 rue de Saint-Amand, is referenced in the Mérimée base, confirming its anchoring in the urban fabric of Poissons. GPS location and administrative data place the site in the department of Haute-Marne (code INSEE 52398), formerly attached to the Champagne-Ardenne region before the territorial reform of 2016. Although sources mention potential services such as visits or rentals, no explicit information is available on their current accessibility or organization.

The protection of the castle covers specific parts: the Louis XIII wing (with its tower and doorwork), the 18th century wing, as well as external elements such as the water room and the fence wall. These provisions, formalized by an order of 2 June 1986, underline the importance of preserving the architectural and landscape integrity of the site. The photographs available, such as the one credited to Ji-Elle under Creative Commons, illustrate its current state, although the accuracy of the location is considered to be satisfactory a priori according to the database criteria.
