Origin and history

The Auberge de La Romaine is a 17th-century building located in Falaise, Calvados department, Normandy. This building, now classified as a historical monument, illustrates the typical architecture of the inns of this time, intended to accommodate travellers and merchants on commercial routes. Its listing in the inventory of historic monuments, effective since 20 September 1946, underscores its heritage importance and its remarkable state of conservation for the region.

Located near the Church of Our Lady of Guibray, the hostel is located in a historic area of Falaise, about 60 meters southwest of this iconic place of worship. Its official address, 8 Queen's Square, places the monument at the heart of an urban complex marked by the medieval and modern history of the city. The available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, confirm its past role as a place of reception, although the details of its occupants or its daily functioning remain partially documented.

The inn's protection is specifically focused on the old structure itself (cadastre C 732), with no extension to ancillary elements. This measure of preservation, taken in the aftermath of the Second World War, reflects a desire to safeguard the material traces of the economic and social activities of the Ancien Régime Normandy. Today, the building, although still standing, does not have detailed public information about its accessibility or current vocation (visit, accommodation, etc.).
