An apartment adapted in a 19th-century temple. Still few in number at the beginning of the 19th century, the Protestant community of Bar-le-Duc organized itself starting in 1856 with the establishment of a pastor. The following year, it began the construction of a temple, based on the plans of the departmental architect Alexandre Guiot. The cornerstone was laid on May 23, 1861, by the pastor's daughter, Camélia, who was then six years old. A commemorative inscription and three pieces of silver dating from 1860 were then 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 building's foundation are still preserved there. After 1905, it gathered about 600 faithful distributed across 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 transformed into a two-level dwelling by its current owners, who maintain 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 extending at the back with a small courtyard.This description has been automatically translated from French.
