Origin and history

The buildings at 175 to 183 rue Beauvoisine in Rouen date from the second half of the 15th century and the first quarter of the 16th century. Their architecture reflects the transition from late Gothic to early Renaissance influences in Normandy. These buildings, typical of the urban habitat of the time, bear witness to the prosperity of Rouen, then one of the most dynamic cities in the Kingdom of France thanks to its port and trade.

Classified as a Historical Monument by order of 28 June 1963, these buildings benefit from protection specifically on their street façades and roofs. Their precise location, attested by the Mérimée and Monumentum bases, places them in a central district of Rouen, marked by dense urbanization and preserved architectural heritage. The accuracy of their location is assessed as "very satisfactory" (note 8/10), confirming their anchoring in the city's urban history.

No information is available on their original use, their potential owners or specific historical events that would take place there. Data are limited to their construction period and protection status. Their presence in the Mérimée base and their photographic license (Creative Commons, crédits Pierre-Yves Beaudouin) make them documented elements of the Rouen heritage, open to study but without further details on their social or functional history.
