Timeline

Origin and history

The buildings located Place Nationale in Dieppe, in the Seine-Maritime department, constitute a remarkable architectural complex in the city centre. Their protection under the Historic Monuments specifically concerns brick facades and roofs, recognized for their heritage value by a decree dated 19 May 1939. These elements reflect a typical style of the region, although the exact period of their construction is not specified in the available sources.

The National Square, the historic heart of Dieppe, illustrates the urbanisation of Norman port cities, where brick buildings play both an aesthetic and a functional role. In modern times, these buildings were probably home to shops, housing or activities related to the economic dynamism of the city, including its port. Their preservation demonstrates the importance attached to local architectural memory, in an area marked by both maritime and rural influences.

Available data from the Merimée database and Monumentum precisely locate these buildings at 22 and 24 of the Place Nationale. Their state of conservation and their integration into the present urban fabric make them major visual cues, although their detailed history and possible historical owners or sponsors remain undocumented in the sources consulted.
