Origin and history

The house located at 36-38 rue du Vieux-Palais in Rouen is a monument listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments since 1954. This building is distinguished by its facades on street and courtyard, its roofs, as well as remarkable carpentry elements, such as two doors and a window in the passage connecting the interior and exterior courtyards. A fireplace adorning a room on the ground floor between the two courtyards completes this protected architectural ensemble.

The registration by order of 3 December 1954 specifically concerns parts of the building considered representative of its heritage interest. The location of the house in the historic centre of Rouen and its private property raise questions about its accessibility to the public, although its status as a Historic Monument makes it an important witness to Norman urban history. The available coordinates, although approximate (estimated at 5/10), place the building in an area marked by a rich medieval and reborn past.

No information is provided on the exact origin of the construction, its historical occupants, or its initial use. However, its ranking suggests an architectural or historical value recognized by the authorities. The reference to a private company as a current owner indicates a potential commercial or residential contemporary vocation, without excluding mixed uses such as room rental or guest rooms, although these details are not confirmed by available sources.
