Origin and history

The house at 99 rue du Gros-Horloge in Rouen is a 15th century civil building, representative of Norman medieval architecture. Ranked Historic Monument by order of 25 August 1927, its protection specifically concerns the facade on street and roof. This classification reflects its heritage value in a central district of Rouen, marked by the city's urban and commercial history.

The exact address, indicated in the Merimée base, places the monument in the heart of Rouen, in the Seine-Maritime department (code Insee 76540). The location, although noted as "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10), remains an anchor to understand the urban planning of Upper Normandy (now Normandy) at the end of the Middle Ages. The house, owned by a private company, does not offer public information about its current access or vocation (visit, rental, etc.).

The available sources, including the Monumentum platform, underline the importance of this building in the historic Rouennais landscape. No mention shall be made of its original occupants, sponsor, or of any specific events held. The lack of details about its past or present use limits the understanding of its social role, but its ranking in 1927 confirms its architectural and memorial interest in the city.
