Origin and history

The building at 29 rue des Bons-Enfants in Rouen is a 17th and 18th century building. Ranked a Historical Monument, it illustrates the civil architecture of this period in Normandy, with a facade and roof protected by ministerial decree since 1963. Its location in the city centre reflects Rouen's urbanisation, marked by a dense and varied heritage.

The protection of this building is part of a process of preserving the heritage of Rouen, typical of the Norman cities that experienced economic and cultural growth in the 17th and 18th centuries. The facades on street, often decorated, testify to the social status of the owners and the evolution of architectural styles between classicism and rococo. Although little documented, this type of building was part of everyday life, hosting shops, housing or workshops.

The available data, from the Merimée database and Monumentum, confirm its registration as Historical Monuments in 1963, without specifying any owners or architects. The exact address (29 rue des Bons-Enfants) and the Insee code (76540) allow it to be located in the Seine-Maritime department, in the Normandy region.
