Immeuble, 221, 223 rue Eau-de-Robec

This multi-story residence on Eau-de-Robec Street displays Norman construction techniques combining stone foundations with timber-frame walls across several levels. The facade and roof feature the craftsmanship typical of buildings from that commercial district of Rouen.

The building received protected status in 1942 when it was registered as a historic monument for its facade and roof. This recognition was part of preserving Rouen's architectural legacy after the damage the city experienced during the Second World War.

This house is part of Rouen's medieval streets and shows how wealthy merchants lived and worked during the Renaissance. The facade with its timber-frame details tells the story of the city's economic prosperity in that era.

This house stands in central Rouen as a private residence, so you can view its exterior from the street but the interior is not open to visitors. Any repairs or changes to the protected facade and roofing need special permission from heritage authorities.

This house belongs to just 55 buildings in Rouen that received special protection status for their historical and architectural qualities. This carefully selected group makes it a distinctive example among the city's protected structures.
