Origin and history

The house at 40 quai Sainte-Catherine in Honfleur is a 16th century building, typical of the architecture of this period in the region. It is distinguished by its facades and roofs, which were officially listed as Historic Monuments on 6 March 1933. This ranking reflects its heritage importance and the desire to preserve this testimony from the Honfleurese past.

The building is located on an iconic Honfleur wharf, formerly identified under number 61 before being renumbered. This quay, close to the Old Basin, was a strategic place for the port and commercial activities that marked the history of the city since the Middle Ages. The house, by its architecture and location, thus reflects the close link between the built heritage and Honfleur's economic activity.

Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, confirm that the house is a historic monument, but do not provide details about its occupants or its original use. The protected elements specifically include facades and roofs, as indicated in the 1933 Registration Order. No information is available on its current accessibility or possible reuse (visit, rental, etc.).
