Origin and history

The Amiraute Hotel is an iconic building located in Dieppe, in the Seine-Maritime department, at 210-214 Grande-Rue (or Place du Puits-Salé). Built in the first half of the 18th century, or possibly at the end of the 17th century, it combines brick and stone in an orderly architectural style, typical of the period. This building served as a residence for the Admiralty until the French Revolution, while housing a specialized maritime court, although it belonged to a notable locality.

Between 1867 and 1927, the building was renamed "Hôtel de la Paix", marking a period of transition in its use. Its facades and roofs, both on the street and on the courtyard, were protected as historical monuments by a decree of 10 June 1991. Today, the building combines private and communal property, testifying to its heritage importance and its anchoring in the harbour history of Dieppe.

The structure, characterized by a "beautiful architectural arrangement", reflects Dieppe's central role as a maritime town in the 18th century. Its inscription among historical monuments underlines its aesthetic and historical value, linked to the naval administration of the Ancien Régime. Sources, such as Le Patrimoine des Communes de Seine-Maritime (1997), confirm its status as a symbol of the judicial and local power.

The protected elements include all the facades, roofs, and side walls of the courtyard, excluding later additions. Although its present vocation (visits, rentals) is not specified, its heritage persists through its conservation and mention in the Merimée and Monumentum bases.
