Origin and history

The house located at 40-42 boulevard Pasteur in Lisieux is a wood-paned building, typical of Norman architecture. It is distinguished by its half-timbered structure, a technique common in the region until the beginning of the twentieth century. This building illustrates the local architectural heritage, marked by the use of wood as the main material, often associated with the filling of torchi or bricks.

The house was officially recognized for its heritage value by being listed as a Historic Monument on May 6, 1959. This protection specifically concerns its facades on street and courtyard, as well as its roof. The boulevard Pasteur, where it is located, was formerly known as rue de Caen, reflecting Lisieux's historical ties to this neighbouring city.
