Origin and history

The house located at 148-150 rue du Gros-Horloge in Rouen is a monument listed in the inventory of Historical Monuments. Its facades and roofs were protected by ministerial decree on 12 October 1929, highlighting their heritage value in the urban landscape of Rouen. The exact address, confirmed by the Merimée bases and GPS coordinates, places this building in the heart of an iconic neighborhood, close to the medieval astronomical clock that gives its name to the street.

Rouen, a city marked by its medieval history and its major commercial role in Normandy, preserves many buildings bearing witness to its past. The old houses, like this one, often reflect the civil architecture of the 17th to 19th centuries, when the local bourgeoisie and the artisans shaped the face of the city. Although available sources (Monumentum, Merimée data) do not specify its original use, its listing as Historical Monuments attests to its importance in the Rouen built heritage.

No information is provided on its current accessibility (visits, rental) or detailed conservation status.
