Origin and history

The Hotel located at 38 rue Saint-Patrice in Rouen is a historical monument built in the 17th century. This building, now classified, illustrates the civil architecture of this period in a city at the time marked by its economic and cultural dynamism. Its classification by decree of 12 July 1886 bears witness to its recognized heritage importance since the 19th century.

The location of this hotel, in the centre of Rouen, reflects the urbanization and enrichment of the Rounnese bourgeoisie in the 17th century. At that time, Rouen was a major commercial hub, thanks to its port and its textile activities. Private hotels, such as those on Rue Saint-Patrice, often served as residences for wealthy families or local notables, while embodying their social status.

The monument is now owned by the commune of Rouen, suggesting a desire to preserve and enhance this heritage. Although the information on its current use (visits, rentals, etc.) is not specified, its ranking and location make it a key element of the historic Rouen landscape. The accuracy of its geographical location is assessed as "a priori satisfactory", which facilitates its identification in the city.
