Origin and history

The building at 20 rue Saint-Romain in Rouen is an emblematic 17th century building. This monument, whose street façade and corresponding roof are protected, bears witness to the civil architecture of this period in Normandy. Its registration by decree of 26 June 1963 underlines its heritage importance, although its precise location remains approximate according to the available data.

The construction of this building is part of the urban context of Rouen, a major city in the region, which was then marked by economic and cultural dynamism. The buildings of this time often reflect the influence of emerging classical styles, while meeting the residential or commercial needs of an expanding bourgeoisie. Today, this property belongs to a private company, and its current use (visit, rental, etc.) is not specified in the sources.

Available data, including data from the Merimée database and Monumentum, indicate that the official address corresponds to that of GPS coordinates. However, the accuracy of its location is considered "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10), which may reflect minor uncertainties about its exact location. No additional information on its history or occupants is mentioned in the sources consulted.
