Halles, Mairie, Palais de Justice stands in Vézelise (Meurthe-et-Moselle), in the Grand Est region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century, 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
At the heart of Vézelise, the market hall has kept its original trading function since the Middle Ages, even though the building seen today dates from the very end of the 16th century. The structure combines a timber roof resting on stone arcades with two pavilions, the Auditoire courthouse and the town hall, built at either end. It offers a glimpse of the Lorraine style of market halls, altered over time but still serving its original purpose.
What to know
- The building has been a listed historic monument since 1942.
- The structure seen today results from a rebuilding carried out between 1599 and around 1602, after the medieval halls fell into ruin.
- The building still houses the town hall and a former courthouse, and retains its function as a market hall.
- The former grain loft, converted into a community hall since 1999, is not open as a heritage space.
- The site is located in Vézelise, in the Meurthe-et-Moselle department, and can be explored from outside and through its arcades.
