Bureau des Finances of Rouen, Renaissance building on Cathedral Square, Rouen, France

The Bureau des Finances exhibits two distinct facades with detailed ornamentation, featuring Gothic windows and classical elements on the Cathedral Square and Petit-Salut Street.

Built in 1509 under Thomas Bohier's direction, the structure initially served as a Court of Aids before transforming into a financial administration office for Normandy.

Claude Monet created segments of his Cathedral series from the first floor of this building during the 1890s, capturing different light conditions of Rouen Cathedral.

The tourist office opens daily from 9:30 AM to 6 PM between October and April, with extended hours until 7 PM from May to September.

The structure represents the final phase of Louis XII architectural style, combining late medieval characteristics with early Renaissance innovations from Italy.
