The building, often attributed to Jean Goujeon, is one of the witnesses of the vigor of the Renaissance movement in Rouen. Its two loggias superimposed on the Corinthian columns alone deserve a detour, especially as the facade has been completely whitewashed, Pride having been formerly whitewashed to protect it from the wear of time.

The chapel is listed as a historical monument in 1846 and remains the only vestige of this rich district of the city that suffered the bombings of the Second World War. We can not currently visit it, but exhibitions are organized there.

L'édifice, souvent attribué à Jean Goujeon, est l'un des témoins de la vigueur du mouvement Renaissance à Rouen. Ses deux loggias superposées aux colonnes corinthiennes méritent à elles seules le détour, d'autant que la façade a complètement été blanchie, la Fierté ayant été autrefois badigeonnée pour la protéger de l'usure du temps.

La chapelle est classée monument historique en 1846 et demeure l'unique vestige de ce riche quartier de la ville ayant subi les bombardements de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. On ne peut actuellement pas la visiter, mais des expositions y sont organisées.
