À propos du lieu

Porte du Pont

Place du Maréchal Leclerc, 51300 Vitry-le-François

Marne
Grand Est

Only vestige of strengthened Vitry, which contained four doors, the Door of the Bridge(Deck) was built from 1746 till 1748\. At about 1928s, the location of the door is questioned, because it is an embarrassment in the road traffic in full development. In 1939, in front of the threats of German invasion, the door is disassembled(taken down). Stones are stored in a shed reconstruction will take place only in 1985 north of the city centre, in the place where it is possible to admire it now. This location was imposed by the Department of civil engineering, for safety reasons road. This monument is listed(classified) in conformance with(for) historic monuments since 1920\.
