Prefecture hotel of Seine-Maritime, Historical private mansion and prefecture in Rouen, France.

The prefecture building spans multiple floors with 17th-century architecture and a main facade facing Boulevard des Belges in central Rouen.

Initially constructed as Hotel-Dieu in 1580 during a plague outbreak, the building became the Seine-Maritime prefecture in 1995 following renovations.

The reception halls of the prefecture display architectural elements that demonstrate the decorative styles of the 17th and 18th centuries.

The prefecture provides administrative services for Seine-Maritime residents and centralizes regional government functions for Normandy since 2016.

The structure combines departmental and regional prefecture functions within a former 17th-century royal hospital.
