Origin and history

The house located at 6 Thiers Street in Bernay (Eure, Normandy) is a 16th century civil building, representative of Renaissance home architecture in this region. Its partial inscription in the Historical Monuments by decree of 1 May 1933 concerns only its facade, excluding the ground floor, emphasizing its heritage interest despite subsequent modifications.

Bernay, a Norman city marked by a medieval past and a transition to modern times, saw in the 16th century the development of bourgeois or artisanal dwellings in stone and half-timbered. These houses reflect the local economic boom, linked to commercial, agricultural and textile activities, typical of Upper Normandy. Their partial preservation, as for this house, offers an overview of the constructive techniques and urban lifestyle of the time.

The approximate GPS location and map accuracy note (5/10) indicate a geographic identification to be refined. No information is available on its current access to the public or on any reassignment (visits, accommodation).
