Origin and history

The house located at 165 rue du Gros-Horloge in Rouen is a monument listed in the inventory of Historical Monuments. Its inscription, dated 12 October 1929, specifically concerns its facade and roof, architectural elements considered representative of the local heritage. Although the details of its history or its original occupants are lacking, this official protection underscores its importance in the urban landscape of Rouen.

Rouen, the emblematic city of Normandy, has long been an economic and cultural crossroads, thanks to its port on the Seine. Old houses, like this one, often reflect the evolution of architectural styles and lifestyles between the Middle Ages and the modern era. Their preservation makes it possible to understand the social organization and the artisanal or commercial activities that animated the streets, such as that of Gros Horloge, the major artery of the historic centre.
