Hôtel des Comtes de Champagne, Medieval Gothic residence in central Reims, France.
Hôtel des Comtes de Champagne is a 13th-century medieval residence featuring a restored facade with ornate windows and detailed stonework. The structure centers on a paved courtyard that remains one of its most notable architectural features.
The residence emerged in the 13th century as a dwelling for the Counts of Champagne, particularly Count Thibaud IV, who occupied it during royal coronation ceremonies in Reims. Following World War damage, restoration work led to its protection as a historical monument in the 1920s and 1930s.
The building takes its name from the Counts of Champagne who resided here during their stays in the city. Visitors can see how the spaces and courtyard reflect the daily life of these regional noble families.
The residence sits on Rue de Tambour near the Le Vergeur Museum and other historical attractions in the city center. Its central location makes it easily accessible and simple to reach on foot.
The building is used by Taittinger Champagne House and serves as a venue for cultural events that preserve its historical character. This link between medieval architecture and champagne tradition offers visitors an uncommon experience.
