La Lieutenance

Quai de la Quarantaine, 14600 Honfleur, France

Normandie

This remarkable building is one of the last vestiges of the harbor fortifications. Honfleur is a fortified port in the 14th century, surrounded by ramparts and ditches fed by the sea. The original work of the Lieutenancy, the Porte de Caen, is one of the entrances of the closed city. At the end of the 17th century, a dwelling was built for the king’s lieutenant, the building took the name of Lieutenancy. Part of the fortifications was removed to create the Old Basin. The traces of these tears on the building are still visible.
In the 19th century, the Lieutenancy became the place of administration and management of port affairs. The Lieutenancy, completely restored between 2015 and 2022, now houses an interpretation center for architecture and maritime heritage and an artists’ residence. This new equipment carries out actions in favor of the enhancement of heritage, mediation and architectural and artistic awareness of the public. It also supports creation and artists, encourages artistic practices and exchanges with the inhabitants of the territory.
