Why this property will seduce you

  • Historic Heart: 19th-century temple transformed into residence.
  • Striking Volume: Unique light-filled space in city center.
  • Preserved Heritage: Commemorative inscription and 1860 coins retained.
A duplex converted from a 19th-century temple, a vessel of light in the center of Bar-le-Duc. Still few in number at the beginning of the 19th century, the Protestant community of Bar-le-Duc began to structure itself from 1856 with the installation of a pastor. The following year, it undertook the construction of a temple, based on the plans of the departmental architect Alexandre Guiot. The first stone was laid on May 23, 1861, by the pastor's daughter, Camélia, who was six years old at the time. A commemorative inscription and three silver coins dating from 1860 were placed in a cavity made in the stone at the right base of the entrance portal. Protected between two sheets of lead, these testimonies of the foundation of the building are still preserved there. After 1905, it gathered about 600 faithful spread over 44 municipalities. However, the gradual decline of the community and financial difficulties led to the sale of the temple in 1996. It ceased to host worship and was converted into a residence on two levels by its current owners, who kept the ground floor as a workshop and exhibition/sales space. Located in a small quiet street perpendicular to the main thoroughfare of the city, the temple occupies a triangular plot extended at the back by a small courtyard.
