Origin and history

The building located at 27 rue des Bons-Enfants in Rouen is a 16th century building, marked by the transition between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. This monument, whose facade on street and roof are inscribed in the Historical Monuments since March 5, 1962, illustrates the architectural evolution of Rouen, the major city of Normandy. Its classification reflects the desire to preserve a civil heritage characteristic of this pivotal period.

The location of the building, in the historic centre of Rouen, suggests its integration into a dense urban fabric, typical of medieval and renaissant cities. At that time, Rouen was a commercial and cultural crossroads, where stone and woodwork construction coexisted. The buildings of that time were often used as housing for local merchants, artisans or notables, reflecting the economic prosperity of the city, including its port and its role in river trade.

Available data indicate that the accuracy of the location is considered "a priori satisfactory", with an address confirmed by the archives of the Merimée database and GPS coordinates. No additional information is provided on its current use (visit, rental, etc.), or on any historic owners or sponsors. The lack of details about occupants or subsequent transformations limits the understanding of its specific history, but its registration in 1962 underscores its heritage importance.
