Origin and history
The house located at 6 Thiers Street in Bernay is a typical example of 16th century wood-paned architecture. It is distinguished by its façade, which has been classified as a historical monument since 1933, with the exception of its ground floor. This street, the main street of the city, concentrates a rich heritage, with 13 references to the general inventory of cultural heritage, including several 16th and 17th century houses.
Thiers Street, formerly known as Grand Street to the Jews and then Rue du Commerce, now bears the name of Adolphe Thiers (1797-1877), a major political figure in the Third Republic. It spans 86 numbers and houses remarkable buildings such as St. Croix Church and City Hall. The house of No. 6, with its medieval characteristics, illustrates the historical importance of this route in Bernay's urban development.
Between 1807 and 1851, the street had 112 houses, reflecting a significant urban density. The house of No. 6, protected for its facade, bears witness to the preservation of the local heritage. Its designation as historic monuments in 1933 emphasizes its architectural and cultural value, in an area marked by the Norman heritage and urban transformations of the 19th and 20th centuries.
