Origin and history

The wooden house located at 32 Grande-Rue in Quillebeuf-sur-Seine is an emblematic building of the 2nd half of the 16th century. This building, typical of Renaissance civil architecture in Normandy, is distinguished by its wooden structure and its inscription as Historical Monuments since 1948. The protection specifically concerns the facade and roof, remarkable elements of this local heritage.

Quillebeuf-sur-Seine, located in the department of Eure in Normandy, was at that time a strategic place on the banks of the Seine, marked by commercial and port activities. Wood-paned houses, frequent in the region, reflected both local craftsmanship and the needs of a growing population. These constructions, often for merchants or artisans, played a central role in the economic and social life of river towns.

The registration of this house by order of 29 November 1948 underlines its heritage importance. Although the available sources do not specify its original use, its state of conservation and its location make it a valuable testimony to the urban history of Quillebeuf-sur-Seine. Current data do not mention openness to the public or a specific tourist function.
