Origin and history

The house at 222 Martainville Street in Rouen is a 17th-century civil building. It is representative of the domestic architecture of this period in the Norman region, marked by street facades and characteristic roofs. This type of construction reflects the urban development of Rouen, the major city of trade and crafts under the Old Regime.

Classified as a Historic Monument, this house was partially protected by decree of 28 April 1956, specifically covering its facade on street and roof side. This preservation measure reflects the heritage importance of the building, although the information available does not specify its original use or its potential owners. The location, in the historical district of Rouen, suggests a dense urban context, typical of modern port cities.
