The station opened on May 3, 1843, when the line from Paris-Saint-Lazare to Rouen opened to service. The station was destroyed in 1944 by the Allied bombardments and was not reopened to passenger traffic after repairs.

The hôtel de Bourgtheroulde is a former hôtel particulier at 15 place de la Pucelle (formerly the place du Marché aux veaux and long thought to have been the square where Joan of Arc was burned) in the historic city centre of Rouen. It mostly dates to the 16th century. Its façades and rooves were made a monument historique on 11 January 1924 Its architecture is similar to that of the Rouen Courthouse and the city's Bureau des Finances, both of the same date as the Hôtel. Guillaume II Le Roux, lord of Bourgtheroulde and member of the Exchequer of Normandy, decided to build a stone townhouse worthy of his rank at the end of the 15th century and chose the Louis XII style, the transition between the Flamboyant Gothic style and French Renaissance architecture. His son Guillaume III continued embellishing the building and completed his father's work on it. In the inside courtyard, on the left, is the Aumale Gallery with high-quality Renaissance sculpted decoration showing the Field of the Cloth of Gold meeting between Francis I of France and Henry VIII of England and scenes from Petrarch's allegorical poem Triumphs. The building was partially damaged on 19 April 1944 during 'red week' and its interior decor was destroyed by bombing on 26 August the same year, just before the city's liberation. Until 2006 it housed the Crédit industriel de Normandie bank, before being completely restructured as a deluxe hôtel and reopening in April 2010.

The Gros-Horloge (English: Great-Clock) is a 14th century astronomical clock in Rouen, Normandy.The clock is installed in a Renaissance arch crossing the Rue du Gros-Horloge. The mechanism is one of the oldest in France, the movement having been made in 1389. Construction of the clock was started by Jourdain del Leche who lacked the necessary expertise to finish the task, so the work was completed by Jean de Felain, who became the first to hold the position of governor of the clock.The clock was originally constructed without a dial, with one revolution of the hour-hand representing twenty-four hours. The movement is cast in wrought iron, and at approximately twice the size of the Wells Cathedral clock, it is perhaps the largest such mechanism still extant. A facade was added in 1529 when the clock was moved to its current position. The mechanism was electrified in the 1920s and it was restored in 1997. As of 9 July 2022, the clock movement itself is not functional in any way. There is an electrical solenoid that rings one of the two bells in the tower on the 1/4 hr. The Renaissance facade represents a golden sun with 24 rays on a starry blue background. The dial measures 2.5 metres (25 dm; 250 cm) in diameter. The phases of the moon are shown in the oculus of the upper part of the dial. It completes a full rotation in 29 days. The week days are shown in an opening at the base of the dial with allegorical subjects for each day of the week.The Gros Horloge has featured in paintings by J. M. W. Turner and the French impressionist Léon-Jules Lemaître.

The bureau des Finances is a medieval building on place de la Cathédrale in Rouen. As examples of secular architecture in the Louis XII style of the first decades of the 16th century, its façades and rooves were made monuments historiques in 1926. Its rich and full conception demonstrate the city's rediscovered prosperity at the end of the 15th century, which allowed the neglected municipal buildings to be renewed. Its style is similar to those of the city's Courthouse and hôtel de Bourgtheroulde, both built at the same time. It was damaged by bombing on 19 April 1944, but the worst damage was in that of 26 August the same year, just before the city's liberation, which destroyed part of its interior decoration. Formerly a Court of Aids then a bureau des finances, since 1959 it has housed Métropole Rouen Normandie's tourism office at no. 26, whilst no. 27 has housed the "La Civette" tobacconist since at least the 19th century.

Rouen (UK: , US: ; French: [ʁwɑ̃] or [ʁu.ɑ̃]) is a city on the River Seine in northern France. It is the prefecture of the region of Normandy and the department of Seine-Maritime. Formerly one of the largest and most prosperous cities of medieval Europe, the population of the metropolitan area (French: aire d'attraction) is 702,945 (2018). People from Rouen are known as Rouennais. Rouen was the seat of the Exchequer of Normandy during the Middle Ages. It was one of the capitals of the Anglo-Norman dynasties, which ruled both England and large parts of modern France from the 11th to the 15th centuries. From the 13th century onwards, the city experienced a remarkable economic boom, thanks in particular to the development of textile factories and river trade. Claimed by both the French and the English during the Hundred Years' War, it was on its soil that Joan of Arc was tried and burned alive on 30 May 1431. Severely damaged by the wave of bombing in 1944, it nevertheless regained its economic dynamism in the post-war period thanks to its industrial sites and its large seaport, which today is the fifth largest in France.Endowed with a prestige established during the medieval era, and with a long architectural heritage in its historical monuments, Rouen is an important cultural capital. Several renowned establishments are located here, such as the Museum of Fine Arts, the Secq des Tournelles museum, and Rouen Cathedral. Seat of an archdiocese, it also hosts a court of appeal and a university. Every four to six years, Rouen becomes the showcase for a large gathering of sailing ships called "L'Armada"; this event makes the city an occasional capital of the maritime world.
