Origin and history

The building at 20 rue des Bons-Enfants in Rouen is a 15th and 16th century building. Ranked a Historical Monument, it illustrates the civil architecture of this period in Normandy, with a facade and roof protected by ministerial decree since 1962. Its location in the historic centre of Rouen, a city marked by a rich medieval heritage and reborn, makes it a witness to the urban transformations of the period.

The protection of this building is part of a desire to preserve the heritage of Rouen, especially after the destruction of the Second World War. Although the sources do not specify its original use, its conservation reflects the importance attached to older civilian buildings in the reconstruction and upgrading of the city centre. GPS coordinates and approximate address (22 Rue Dinanderie) suggest a location in an artisanal or commercial area, typical of Rouen at that time.

The available data, from the Merimée database and Monumentum, highlight its inscription under the Historical Monuments on 5 March 1962. This official recognition highlights remarkable architectural elements, although the archives do not detail precise stylistic features. The lack of information on its accessibility or current use limits the knowledge of its contemporary vocation.
