Discover the history of this former private mansion transformed into a museum! The symbolic stake is strong; it is the second Trojan museum opened at the beginning of the 20th century...

17 et 18 septembre 2022Passat

Explanatory panels reflect on the historical and architectural evolution of this place. The old mansion is ostensibly steeped in history. Nothing is more moving today than to rediscover the past of buildings that have been able to reinvent themselves over time.
Published by the Service Animation du patrimoine as part of the Ville d'art et d'histoire label, this new Focus brochure focuses on the history and architecture of the four municipal museums. Former abbey, episcopal palace, apothecary, 16th century residence… Trojan museums have all had a previous life… before becoming the setting for remarkable collections. Chronology, construction secrets, architectural details… Discover these sixteen richly illustrated pages.
This brochure is distributed free of charge in municipal museums, at the Jacques-Chirac media library or at the Animation du patrimoine service by prior appointment. It is also available for download at www.vpah-troyes.fr

The conical roofs are adorned with elegant ears of ridgepole topped with a sun and with a moon. He(It) is built in the location of a convent which depended on the cistercienne abbey on Vauluisant (Yonne) in the 12th century. In 1524, this house is destroyed by the fire which devastates a lot of the city of Troy. By 1550, Antoine Hennequin builds the detached house(flag) with turrets. The body of the building(ship) in return for carpenter's square is raised(brought up) to the 17th century by the famous family Mesgrigny which leaves the building(ship) in 1826\. During many years, it is the seat(siege) of the Trojan Great circle which organises balls and other festivities there. Having bought by the City of Troy in 1932 to make a decorative, secondary art museum of the museum of Fine Arts, he shelters currently collections evoking art champenois of the 16th century and the history(story) of the hosiery.
