Origin and history

The Maison Sainte-Blaise is an iconic building located in the city of Caen, Normandy. Its entrance gate, decorated with carpentry vantaux, is its most remarkable architectural element. This portal was officially listed under the Historic Monuments by order of 18 February 1948, thus highlighting its heritage value.

Located at 88 rue Basse, about 300 metres southeast of the abbey of Les Dames, this house is located in a historic area of Caen. Although the details of its history and architecture remain limited in the available sources, its inscription demonstrates its importance in the local heritage. The accuracy of its location is considered satisfactory, with an address confirmed by the Merimée database.

The monument does not seem open to the visit according to current information, and its contemporary use (rent, guest rooms) is not documented. Available sources, such as Wikipedia and Monumentum, focus mainly on its location and heritage protection, without providing details of its origin or historical occupants.
