Timeline

Origin and history

The house at 5 Route du Havre in Caudebec-en-Caux is a 17th-century civil building. This building, whose facades and roofs are protected by a registration order of 5 April 1960, illustrates the area's home architectural heritage. Its classification as a Historic Monument underscores its heritage interest, although the available sources do not specify its original use or any significant owners.

Caudebec-en-Caux, located in the Seine-Maritime in the current Normandy region, was in the seventeenth century a dynamic city linked to the river and commercial activities of the Seine. The houses of that time often reflected the prosperity of local merchants or artisans, incorporating characteristic stylistic elements such as half-timbers or slate roofs. This type of monument bears witness to the social and economic organization of the region, where the bourgeois dwelling was alongside the more modest buildings.

Practical information about this house remains limited: its exact address (5 route du Havre) is confirmed by the Mérimée base, and its GPS location is considered "a priori satisfactory". No mention is made of an opening to the public, of a tourist vocation or of contemporary developments. Sources focus on its heritage protection, without detailing its specific history or subsequent transformations.
