Origin and history

The house located at 98-100 Malpalu Street in Rouen is an 18th-century building, typical of the civil architecture of this period. It was classified as a Historic Monument, with a specific protection for its façade on street and roof side, by order of 30 April 1956. This type of building reflects urban planning and architectural styles in vogue in Rouen under the Old Regime, an era marked by the development of cities and the emergence of a merchant bourgeoisie.

Rouen, the major port city of Normandy, was in the 18th century a dynamic economic and cultural centre. The bourgeois houses, like the one on Malpalu Street, illustrated the social status of their owners and often served as a place of residence and commercial activities. Their preservation today makes it possible to understand the urban evolution and lifestyles of the era.

Available data indicate that the location of this monument is considered "a priori satisfactory", with a specific address in the Merimée database. No additional information is provided on its current use (visit, rental, etc.), or on any owners or architects associated with its construction.
