Façades and roofs on streets (cad. BN 186): inscription by order of 4 February 1976
Origin and history
The wooden house at 50 rue Saint-Nicolas in Rouen is an example of traditional Norman architecture. This building, whose facades and roofs have been listed as Historic Monuments since 1950, illustrates the city's urban heritage. Its location in the historic centre of Rouen, close to the Seine, makes it a witness to the civil constructions of the modern era.
Wood-paned houses were common in Normandy, especially in medieval and renaissant cities like Rouen. These constructions reflected both local techniques and the needs of the inhabitants, often related to trade or crafts. Although this specific house is not dated precisely in the available sources, its style and protection attest to its heritage importance for the municipality, which now owns the building.
