Timeline

Origin and history

The buildings of Rue Dauphine in Le Havre constitute an architectural complex located in the city centre of this harbour commune of Normandy. Their construction spanned two centuries, between the 16th and 17th centuries, reflecting the stylistic and urban evolutions of this period. These buildings, although little documented in the available sources, bear witness to the urban history of Le Havre, a city rebuilt and marked by its maritime activity.

Classified as a Historic Monument by order of 11 June 1946, these buildings enjoy heritage protection that underscores their architectural and historical value. Their location, at 97 rue Dauphine, corresponds to a central address in the havre urban fabric, now integrated into the Seine-Maritime department. The accuracy of their geographical location is assessed as satisfactory, facilitating their identification in the current landscape.

Their status as a Historic Monument implies an official recognition of their importance, although details of their original use, their owners or their precise role in local history are not explicitly mentioned in the sources consulted. Their preservation is part of the collective memory of Le Havre, a city whose heritage was partly remodelled by the events of the 20th century, especially during the Second World War.
