Origin and history

The house at 13 rue Damiette in Rouen is a 17th and 18th century building. Ranked as a Historic Monument, it is distinguished by its street façade and roof slope, protected by an inscription order dated 7 January 1958. These architectural elements bear witness to styles in vogue during these two centuries, marked by a transition between classicism and more refined ornaments.

The location of this house, in the historic heart of Rouen, reflects the urbanization and social evolution of the city in modern times. At that time Rouen was a major economic and cultural centre in Normandy, marked by river trade, crafts and a rising bourgeoisie. The houses of that time often served as residences for merchants, notables or artisans, playing a key role in urban life.

Available data from the Merimée database and Monumentum indicate that the exact address is 13 rue Damiette, although GPS coordinates suggest a location close to 11 on the same street. The accuracy of this location is estimated as "a priori satisfactory", with a score of 6 out of 10. No additional information is provided on its current use, such as a possible opening to the public or conversion into guest rooms.
