Origin and history

The log house located on rue de Haut in La Bouille is an emblematic monument of medieval civil architecture in Normandy. Dating from the 15th century, it illustrates the techniques of half-timber construction, common in this region at a time when wood was an abundant and easy to work material. This type of building was generally used as housing for local artisans or merchants, reflecting the daily life and social organization of the small towns of Normandy.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the heritage value of this house was recognized by the authorities, leading to its registration as a Historic Monument by order of 14 April 1930. This protection specifically concerns facades and roofs, characteristic elements of its architectural style. Although the available sources do not specify its current use, its location in the centre of La Bouille, near Place Saint-Michel, suggests that it could still play a role in local life, whether as a dwelling, business or visiting place.

The accuracy of its location is estimated as fair (note of 5/10), indicating that the available geographical data are not perfectly accurate. This can be explained by urban developments or the limitations of historical surveys. Despite this, its official address, rue de Haut, remains a reference point for visitors or researchers interested in Norman heritage.
