Origin and history

The house located at 62 Quai Sainte-Catherine in Honfleur is an emblematic building dating from the 16th century. This building, typical of Norman Renaissance architecture, is distinguished by its facades and roofs, which have been officially recognized for their heritage value. Its location on the dock, formerly named number 39, reflects the historical importance of this port area of the city, now integrated into the Old Basin.

The protection of this monument was formalized on 6 March 1933, when its facades and roofs were listed as historic monuments. This recognition reflects its architectural interest and its role in the urban history of Honfleur, a city marked by its maritime and commercial past. The Sainte-Catherine wharf, where the house stands, is a place full of history, closely linked to the economic and cultural development of the region.

Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, highlight the importance of this building in the Calvados heritage. Although little detail is provided about its occupants or its precise use over the centuries, its inscription among the protected monuments makes it a privileged witness to the architectural and social evolution of Honfleur since the Renaissance. The house is thus part of a wider set of historic monuments that mark the city and its region, contributing to their tourist and cultural attraction.
