The Archiepiscopal Palace of Rouen is a remarkable testament to the city’s religious and architectural heritage. Built between the 14th and 18th centuries, it served as the residence of the archbishops and stands beside the magnificent Rouen Cathedral. Its grand halls, chapels, and courtyards reflect centuries of ecclesiastical power, blending Gothic and classical styles. The palace is also closely tied to the story of Joan of Arc, as her trial and condemnation took place here in 1431, marking it as a site of profound historical significance. Today, the Archiepiscopal Palace hosts exhibitions and cultural events, offering visitors a chance to explore its rich past while experiencing Rouen’s vibrant present. With its imposing architecture and deep historical resonance, the palace remains one of the city’s most important landmarks, embodying both spiritual authority and cultural continuity.
Rouen FranceThe Archiepiscopal Palace is located at 2 Rue des Bonnetiers, with its main visitor entrance on Rue Saint-Romain, directly beside Rouen Cathedral in the heart of the historic centre. This medieval palace forms a continuous architectural ensemble with the cathedral and houses the Historial Jeanne d’Arc museum, so visitors step straight from the narrow, half-timbered Rue Saint-Romain into the courtyard linking palace and church. Just a few minutes’ walk away are the Gothic Église Saint-Maclou, the atmospheric Aître Saint-Maclou courtyard, and the lively Place du Vieux-Marché, while nearby streets are lined with cafés, shops, and heritage façades that make this one of Rouen’s most picturesque quarters.
