Origin and history

The Hotel de Girancourt is a private hotel located in the heart of Rouen, in the Seine-Maritime department. This monument is distinguished by its architecture and its history related to the modern period, although its original construction date is not specified in the available sources. It is located at 48 rue Saint-Patrice, a central location in the city, and its status as a historical monument makes it a testament to the architectural heritage of Rouennais.

Between 1943 and 1945, architect Joseph Marrast made significant interventions on the furniture and interior fittings of the hotel. This work marked a pivotal period for the building, which then saw its facades and roofs classified as historical monuments by a decree of 12 July 1945. This official ranking underscores the heritage importance of the building, while protecting it for future generations.

The hotel in Girancourt is now a private property, which limits its accessibility to the public. The information available indicates that it could be used for room rentals or services such as guest rooms, although these details are not confirmed by sources. Its recent history is marked by a duality between heritage preservation and contemporary use, reflecting the challenges of urban hotel conservation.
