Origin and history

The building at 60 Dauphine Street (formerly 40) in Le Havre is a 16th and 17th century monument. Its facades and roofs were protected by a registration order in 1946, demonstrating its heritage importance in the Norman port city. The location, although noted as "a priori satisfactory" (level 6/10), remains a point of interest for those passionate about ancient architecture.

Le Havre, rebuilt after World War II, retains little trace of this early period. This building, with its status as a Historical Monument, offers a rare overview of urban planning and constructive techniques from the 16th and 17th centuries in Upper Normandy (now Normandy). The available data, from the Merimée database and Monumentum, highlight its role in the local heritage, without specifying its original use or possible occupants.

The 1946 protection is part of a post-Second World War will to preserve the ancient remains, while the city was undergoing a major transformation under the leadership of Auguste Perret. The exact address, confirmed by GPS coordinates, places the building in the historic district, close to the current city center. No information is available on its accessibility to the public or its contemporary use.
