Court
In 1829, the town acquired this well-to-do house to house the sub-prefecture, which operated there for 40 years. In 1869, the sub-prefect moved to a more conveniently located building, a stone's throw from the town hall and railway station.
The Daret house did not remain empty for long, and became home to the public boys' school, a function it performed until 1934. It then became in turn a community center, a music school and then a magistrates' court from 1954 until 2002.
Presentation and history of Tonnerre
Tonnerre first appeared in Roman times as Tornodurum, meaning "fortress". For the Lingons, it was the capital of the Pagus tornodorensis. Here, in the Armançon valley, the County of Tonnerre was created, and served as a crossing point between Paris and Dijon, at a time when the King of France had designs on the Duchy of Burgundy.
