Origin and history

The house at 49 rue du Capitaine-Vie in Lisieux is an emblematic building of the city's civil architectural heritage. Built in the 16th century, it reflects the construction techniques and residential style of the Renaissance in Normandy. Its inscription in the title of Historic Monuments, effective since 14 April 1948, specifically concerns its facade and roof, remarkable elements of its architecture.

The building is located in the immediate vicinity of Saint-Pierre de Lisieux Cathedral, about 375 metres southwest. This central location suggests its importance in the city's historic urban fabric. Although the available sources do not detail its original use, its architecture reflects the lifestyle and constructive practices of the modern era in Lower Normandy.

The Calvados department, on which Lisieux depends, is rich in listed monuments, and this house is part of a wider list of protected buildings. The available data do not indicate whether the building is open to the public or whether it houses a specific activity today. Its state of conservation and its exact location (with an estimated accuracy of 5/10 according to Monumentum) make it a point of interest for those passionate about local history and traditional Norman architecture.
