Following the First World War, the town of Fargniers was 95% devastated. As early as 1918, the City proposed a reconstruction project, in the form of a radio-concentric square around which the municipal buildings would be arranged. In 1922, the Trustees of the Carnegie Endowment (an institution founded in 1910 by the American industrialist Andrew Carnegie and which decided to devote $500,000 to the reconstruction of the devastated regions of France, Belgium and Serbia) decided to allocate $150,000 to the reconstruction of the municipal buildings of Fargniers. A plan of the square was drawn up by the architects Henri-Paul Nénot and Paul Bigot (first Grand Prix de Rome and architect of the Institut des Arts in Paris); Around the square are grouped: the town hall, a post office, a police station, a pump, a market hall, an assembly hall, the Carnegie foyer, a bathhouse, schools, green spaces and playgrounds. This ensemble includes regionalist references as well as an Anglo-Saxon influence. The first stone was laid in 1922, the ensemble was completed in 1928. Listed in the inventory of historical monuments in 1998.

As a memorial to the many dead, such a "MONUMENT AUX MORTS" (usually called a "Central Memorial" or "War Memorial" in German-speaking countries) is still very important today. "Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said..." it says in the so-called "Hymn of Simeon" (Luke's Gospel, Chapter 2, Verse 29). However, the people who are remembered here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny. Therefore, the term "fallen memorial" is now sometimes used instead of the "war memorial" that was previously common in German. In the French-speaking world, however, this aspect of commemoration of the dead has long been included in the most commonly used term "MONUMENT AUX MORTS". Regardless of language and nation, such a memorial has two important and at the same time everlasting tasks: -1- to keep the memory of the suffering and horror of war alive, -2- and to remind people of the need to maintain peace in the long term.
