Rouen, the major city of Normandy, has had a rich urban history, marked by a varied architectural heritage from the Middle Ages to the modern era. Homes with half-timbered or carved facades, such as Jerusalem, often bear witness to the commercial or artisanal importance of the city throughout the centuries. This type of monument, even partially preserved, illustrates the evolution of construction techniques and local styles, reflecting the economic and cultural dynamism of Rouen over the years.
