🇬🇧 English

This measure adds a series of buildings, cemeteries, memorial sites, gardens, and architectural features to France’s historic monument protection system in 2025. The listed sites include religious buildings, parts of a château estate, war cemeteries, a town hall, and memorial monuments in several municipalities, mainly in Ain and Aisne. Owners, local authorities, developers, and contractors working on or near these properties may face tighter controls before carrying out repairs, alterations, construction, or land-use changes. Any project affecting the protected parts will likely need heritage review and may have to preserve the listed features.
