Origin and history

The house at 46 rue Damiette in Rouen is a 17th and 18th century building. Classified as a Historical Monument, it illustrates the civil architecture of this period in Normandy, with a facade and a roof slope inscribed in the inventory since 1957.

Rouen, a major city in the region, was at that time a dynamic economic and cultural centre. The bourgeois houses, like this one, reflected the prosperity of local merchants and artisans, while integrating stylistic elements characteristic of the two centuries (symmetry, sober decorations, slate roofs).

The 1957 protection underscores its heritage interest, although available sources (Monumentum, Mérimée base) do not specify its detailed history or its potential owners. Its exact address and GPS location confirm its anchoring in the historic district of Rouen, near the old shopping routes of the city.
