Origin and history

The house located at 20 Quai Sainte-Catherine in Honfleur is an emblematic building of the city, dated the 16th century. It is distinguished by its typical architecture of this period, with remarkable facades and roofs, which led to its inscription as the Historic Monuments on 6 March 1933. This classification specifically protects these elements, highlighting their heritage value and their role in Honfleur's urban history.

The monument is located on the Quai Sainte-Catherine, a central place in the historical landscape of Honfleur, close to the Old Basin. This district, marked by its port and commercial activity from the Middle Ages, reflects the economic and cultural importance of the city in the Renaissance. The house, although little documented about its occupants or its original function, fits into this context of urban and architectural development.

Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, confirm its status as a Historic Monument and specify its exact address, as well as the elements protected by the 1933 decree. However, no information is provided on any owners, architects or significant events related to this building. His main interest lies in his representation of 16th century Honfleurian habitat and his contribution to Normandy's built heritage.
