Origin and history
The 16 rue aux Fromages house is an emblematic building of the city of Pont-Audemer, in the department of Eure, Normandy. Dated from the 16th century, this building bears witness to the civil architecture of the Renaissance in France. Its listing in the inventory of historic monuments, effective since May 1, 1933, underscores its heritage importance and its remarkable state of conservation for the time.
The precise location of this monument is 16 rue aux Fromages, a historic artery of Pont-Audemer. This street, whose name evokes the region's cheese past, is characteristic of the medieval and reborn urban centres of Normandy. The house, although protected, does not have detailed information on its original use or possible owners in available sources. Its architecture and location, however, suggest a residential or artisanal role, typical of bourgeois or merchant houses of this period.
The classification of this house as a historic monument is part of a broader approach to preserving the Norman heritage. In the Eure, many buildings of the same period enjoy this protection, reflecting the architectural and historical richness of the region. The Mérimée base, a reference in the area of inventory of the French architectural heritage, lists this house among the notable elements of the department. Despite an approximate GPS location, its official address remains a landmark for visitors and researchers interested in local history.
