Origin and history

The Hotel Rue de Crosne, located at 28 rue de Crosne in Rouen, is a building built between 1782 and 1783. It is part of a comprehensive urban planning project led by architect Guéroult. This building illustrates the architectural ambitions of the late 18th century, a period marked by the modernization of French cities, notably through harmonized constructions and neat facades.

The building was partially protected under the Historic Monuments by a decree of 6 November 1953, specifically covering its facades on street and courtyard, as well as its roofs. This official recognition underlines its heritage importance and its role in the urban history of Rouen. The location of the hotel, in the centre of Rouen, also reflects the social and economic organization of the city at that time, where private hotels and bourgeois buildings multiplied.

Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum base, confirm the precise address of the building and its architect, Guéroult, whose name remains associated with this project. The accuracy of the location is estimated as fair (level 5/10), indicating an approximate knowledge of its exact location. No information is provided on its current access to the public, whether visitation, room rental or accommodation.
