Origin and history

The house at 2bis rue Damiette in Rouen is a monument listed under the title of Historical Monuments. Its inscription, dated 20 October 1958, refers specifically to the façade on street and the slope of the roof. These architectural elements, although partially protected, illustrate the urban heritage of Rouen, Normandy.

Rouen, the historic city of Seine-Maritime, has experienced an architectural development marked by various influences over the centuries. Old houses, like this one, often reflect the social and economic organization of their time. In a region where trade and crafts were flourishing, these buildings served both as housing and sometimes as a place of work.

Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the lifestyles and construction techniques of the past.
