Origin and history

The building at 42 rue Saint-Patrice in Rouen is an emblematic 17th century building, typical of the civil architecture of this period. Its facades on street and courtyard, as well as the corresponding roofs, were protected by a registration order under the Historic Monuments on 30 July 1958. This classification highlights the heritage value of its exterior elements, reflecting the architectural style in vogue in the Normandy of the Great Century.

The location of the building, in the historic centre of Rouen, is located in a neighbourhood marked by a rich medieval and reborn past. Although available sources do not specify its original use, this type of building could serve as a bourgeois residence or private hotel, illustrating the economic and cultural dynamism of the city in modern times. Rouen, then provincial capital, attracted merchants, artisans and notables, whose homes helped shape the urban landscape.

Current data indicate a location accuracy considered "passable" (note 5/10), with an approximate address suggested at 51 St. This disparity could be explained by urban changes or transcription errors in archives. The building does not appear to be open to the public, and no information is available about any visit, rental or accommodation on site.
