Origin and history

Hotel de Senneville is a private hotel located in the heart of Rouen, in the Seine-Maritime department. Built between the 16th and 17th centuries, it illustrates the civil architecture of the Renaissance and the Great Century in this Norman city. Its location at 28-32 rue Damiette makes it an important part of the urban heritage of Rouennais.

The facades and roofs of the hotel, including its entrance gate, were listed as historical monuments by order of 2 January 1958. This ranking underscores their architectural value and their role in local history. The building is now owned by the commune of Rouen, although its access to the public (visits, rental) is not specified in the available sources.

A notable event related to the hotel was the death in 1674 of Edward Hyde, a historical figure whose presence attested to the importance of the place at that time. Research conducted by local historians, such as Raoul Aubé and Paul Helot, has documented his history, notably through publications dedicated to private hotels in Rouen.

Available sources, including Wikipedia, Monumentum and specialized works, confirm its status as an iconic monument. However, certain details, such as its current use or protected interior elements, are not explicitly mentioned. The accuracy of its location is estimated as "passible" (level 5/10) based on available geographic data.
