Origin and history

The house located at 224-226 Martainville Street in Rouen is a monument listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments. Its inscription, dated 28 April 1956, specifically concerns the façade on street and the roof slope, remarkable elements of its architecture. Although the precise historical details are lacking, this official protection underscores its heritage importance in the Rouen urban landscape.

Houses of this type, typical of Norman city centres, often reflect the architectural and social evolution of past periods. In Rouen, a city marked by a rich medieval and reborn heritage, these buildings bear witness to local lifestyles, construction techniques and stylistic influences. Their preservation keeps the memory of the artisanal, commercial or residential activities that animated these neighbourhoods.
