Origin and history
The log house located at 71 rue Saint-Michel in Pont-l'Évêque is an emblematic building of the 16th and 17th centuries. This type of construction, typical of Normandy, illustrates the civil architecture of the period, marked by the use of wood as the main material. The facades and roofs, protected by a decree of 16 May 1952, bear witness to the preservation of the local heritage.
Pont-l'Évêque, town of Calvados in Lower Normandy (now Normandy), was a dynamic economic and artisanal centre in the 16th and 17th centuries. Wood-paned houses often served as housing for merchants or artisans, reflecting the prosperity of the region. Their structure, both functional and aesthetic, was harmoniously integrated into the medieval and reborn urban fabric.
The listing of this house as a Historic Monument in 1952 underscores its heritage importance. Although the sources do not specify its original use, its architecture and location make it a privileged witness to the urban history of Pont-l'Évêque. Available data from Monumentum and the Merimée database confirm its protected status and historical value.
