Façades and roofs of the castle poterne (cad. C 14): inscription by decree of 30 December 1976
Origin and history
The Château Saint-Georges de Champigneul-Champagne is a monument dating back to the 16th, 17th and 19th centuries. Located in the commune of Champigneul-Champagne, in the department of Marne (Great East), it embodies the defensive and residential architecture of these periods. Its facades and roofs of the poterne were inscribed in the Historical Monuments by decree of 30 December 1976, attesting to its heritage importance.
The poterne, a protected part of the castle, illustrates the construction techniques and defensive needs of modern times. Although available sources do not specify sponsors or specific historical events related to the site, its listing as Historic Monuments underscores its architectural and cultural value. The castle, located at 5080 Le Château, remains a testimony of the past of the Champagne-Ardenne region, now integrated into the Grand Est.
The location of the castle is considered "very satisfactory" (note 8/10), and its official address is referenced in the Merimée base. No information is available on its current accessibility, whether it be visits, room rental or accommodation. The data come mainly from the Monumentum database and the internal archives, without further details on its contemporary use.
