Façade sur rue et Roof : inscription by order of 13 May 1946

Origin and history

The building located at 35 rue de Geôle in Caen is a monument listed in the inventory of Historical Monuments. Its protection specifically concerns the facade on street and roof, officially recognized by a decree dated 13 May 1946. This building illustrates an example of the Kenyan urban heritage, although details of its history or architecture are not specified in available sources.

In the context of Lower Normandy (now integrated into the Normandy region), the buildings of this time often reflect the architectural and social evolutions of the city centres after the Second World War. In Caen, a city marked by destruction in 1944, the preservation of such buildings contributes to the collective memory and reconstruction of a fragmented local heritage. Protected facades, such as that of this building, highlight the importance attached to the preservation of the visual elements characteristic of historic streets.
