Origin and history

The house at 9 Thiers Street in Bernay (Eure) is a 16th century civil building, representative of Renaissance architecture in Normandy. Its ground floor, adorned with a carved facade overlooking an inner courtyard, was protected by an inscription under the title of Historic Monuments on November 28, 1932. This classification underlines the heritage value of its decorations, typical of bourgeois or artisanal houses of the period.

Bernay, a medieval town in the Eure, experienced an economic boom in the 16th century linked to trade and crafts, including textiles. The half-timbered or stone houses of this period reflect the prosperity of their owners, often local merchants or notables. This house, although partially preserved, illustrates the evolution of styles between late Gothic and Renaissance, marking the urban landscape of the region.

Available sources (Monumentum, Merimée base) specify its exact address and legal status, but remain incomplete on its detailed history or occupants. The location, noted as "passable" (level 5/10), suggests uncertainties on its precise delimitation, despite the approximate GPS coordinates provided (11 Thiers Street).
