Origin and history

The church of Sainte-Croix-des-Pelletiers, located on street of the same name north of the Place du Vieux-Marché in Rouen, finds its origins in the 10th century with a chapel dedicated to Notre-Dame, built by the Counts of Clères. In 1060, Count Alain entrusted his patronage to the abbey of Saint-Ouen. Integrated into the urban enclosure in the 12th century, it became a parish at the end of the Middle Ages, thanks to the activity of the fur and fur traders of the neighborhood. His first priest, Gilles de Brévedent, was attested between 1492 and 1500.

The nave was rebuilt in the 15th century and the choir in the 16th century, with an official consecration on 8 May 1533 by Bishop Jean de Massonnaye. Piled by the Huguenots in 1562, the church underwent renovations in the 17th century, notably in the choir, where was buried in 1674 Adrien Martel de Fontaine, Abbé commendataire de Saint-Victor-l-Abbaye. Removed in 1791 and sold the following year, it lost its bell tower in 1843 and successively served as a store, warehouse and wine cellar.

Purchased in 1941 by Jules Jacqueline, it was restored by architect Robert Flavigny before becoming, in 1951, the room Sainte-Croix-des-Pelletiers, dedicated to concerts and conferences. Joined historic monuments since 1928, it is the subject of a call for projects in 2019 for its reconversion, originally planned in a gourmet hall (Bek A new call for cultural projects was launched in 2024, with two finalists to be selected in November.
