Hugues Krafft (1853-1935), a traveler and protector of the heritage in Reims, completed a world tour before acquiring the hotel Le Vergeur in 1910\. He wishes to save the remarkable 13th century painted wooden ceiling of the Gothic room from a departure for the United States. Unfortunately, this ceiling was destroyed during the bombings of the First World War. Subsequently, Krafft dedicates all his assets, including the war damage of his various properties, to restore the hotel Le Vergeur. He also sold, in 1925, a large part of his Far Eastern collections. In 1930, he assigned the ground floor to the Société des Amis du Vieux Reims (SAVR) and its collections, and reserved the floors for his apartments. The museum Le Vergeur was inaugurated in 1932\. Krafft died on May 10, 1935 in this house and bequeathed the place to the SAVR, as well as all of his personal collections.
