Origin and history
The house located at 46 rue du Gros-Horloge in Rouen is a building dating from the 1st quarter of the 17th century. It is representative of the civil architecture of this period in Normandy, marked by facades and characteristic roofs. This type of construction reflects the urban boom of Rouen, then a prosperous city thanks to river trade and craft activities.
Classified as a Historic Monument, this house saw its facade and roof protected by a decree of 12 October 1929. This status reflects its heritage importance, although available sources do not specify its original use or its potential owners. Rouen, then in Upper Normandy, was an economic and cultural crossroads, and this type of house often housed local merchants or notables.
The location data indicate a specific address (46 rue du Gros-Horloge), but their accuracy is considered satisfactory a priori (note 6/10). No information is provided on its current accessibility, whether visitation, rental or accommodation. The sources are limited to Monumentum and Merimée bases, without further details on its history or occupants.
