Origin and history

The house in 35 Place du Vieux-Marché in Rouen is a monument whose documented history remains brief. The available internal sources do not specify its period of construction or its original use, but its location in the heart of Rouen, in a neighborhood full of history, suggests a local heritage importance. The houses of the Old Market Square in Rouen are often part of a medieval or reborn urban context, marked by intense commercial activity and lively community life.

This type of building, typical of Norman city centres, could be used as a dwelling, artisanal workshop or exchange place, reflecting the diversity of social and economic functions of the time.
