Timeline

Origin and history

The buildings located at numbers 8, 10 and 12 of Rue Saint-Romain in Rouen constitute an architectural complex registered under the title of Historic Monuments. Their protection specifically concerns the facades on street and the corresponding roofs, formalized by a decree dated 5 March 1962. These buildings, although their exact construction period is not specified in the available sources, reflect a typical urban heritage of the city of Rouen, Normandy.

The location of these buildings in the historic centre of Rouen is estimated to be "a priori satisfactory" according to the criteria of geographical accuracy. Their exact address, confirmed by the Mérimée base, is located in the Seine-Maritime department (76), in the Normandy region. These buildings, although not open to visit according to available information, represent an example of preserved civil architecture, characteristic of the urban fabric of Rouen.

No additional information is provided concerning their history, former owners or initial use. Their inscription in the title of Historic Monuments, however, underscores their heritage value, especially for their exterior elements (facades and roofs), which reflect the architectural styles in force during their construction. Their presence in a street like Rue Saint-Romain, close to the medieval heart of Rouen, integrates them in an environment rich in history and classified monuments.
