Origin and history
The 17 rue Caponière building in Caen (Calvados, Normandy) is an emblematic 17th and 18th century building. Built on a major axis of the old Bourg-l-l-Abbé, it illustrates the traditional Kenyan architecture, with a courtyard line and a stone façade of Caen. Its location close to the road of Brittany underlines its historical importance in the urban fabric.
The house is distinguished by preserved architectural elements, such as a wood-paned facade, a shield sculpture representing a bird, and a tower. Nicknamed the "Court de la Bergère", it saw its facades on the courtyard and its roof inscribed in historical monuments on April 18, 1973, thereby recognizing its heritage value.
The building is part of the landscape of protected Caenian monuments, reflecting the construction techniques and lifestyle of modern and classical eras. Its state of conservation and its official inscription make it a representative example of Norman built heritage, accessible via the Merimée base under the code Insee 14118.
