Origin and history

The house located at 30 quai Sainte-Catherine in Honfleur is a 16th century building, typical of the architecture of this period in the region. It is distinguished by its facades and roofs, which were inscribed as the Historic Monuments on 6 March 1933. This ranking reflects its heritage significance and its preservation in the Honfleur urban landscape.

The monument is located on the Sainte-Catherine wharf, an emblematic place of Honfleur, a historic port city of Normandy. Originally, the address was listed as 71, before being renumbered as 30. This wharf, bordering the Old Basin, was a central place for the city's maritime and commercial activities, reflecting Honfleur's economic importance as early as the 16th century.

Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, confirm that the house is protected for its architectural elements, without mentioning major modifications or historical characters related to its construction. Its inscription in 1933 is part of a desire to preserve Norman built heritage, characteristic of the conservation efforts of the early twentieth century in France.
