Origin and history

The house in Rives-en-Seine, Normandy, is a 17th-century monument. It is distinguished by its facades and roofs, protected by a registration order under the Historical Monuments on 5 April 1960. This classification specifically concerns the architectural elements mentioned in the cadastre under reference 109.

The building is located at 5 Route du Havre, in the former commune of Caudebec-en-Caux, now integrated in Rives-en-Seine. The accuracy of its geographical location is assessed as "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10), based on available data. No additional information is provided on its current use, such as a possible opening to the public or conversion into guest rooms.

The historical context of the seventeenth century in Normandy is marked by a period of reconstruction and architectural development after the disturbances of the Wars of Religion. The bourgeois or notable houses of this time often reflect the local economic boom, linked to river or maritime trade, especially in areas close to the Seine. This type of building generally served as a residence for wealthy families or merchants, playing a role in the social structure of towns and villages.
