Origin and history

The house located on Rue Vieille-Cohue in Montivilliers is a 16th century civil building, typical of Norman architecture of this period. It is distinguished by its inscription in title of Historical Monuments since 1926, highlighting its heritage importance in the urban landscape of this town of Seine-Maritime.

Montivilliers, located in the current Normandy region, was in modern times a city marked by artisanal and commercial activities. Houses like this often served as housing for local merchants or notables, reflecting the region's relative prosperity. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the social and economic organization of the small Norman cities between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

The Registration Order of 1926 specifically protects the architectural elements of this 16th century house. Although the sources do not specify the details of its construction or its original owners, its ranking reflects the desire to preserve a representative built heritage of that time. The location, now estimated as satisfactory (note 7/10), allows for further studies on its historical context.
