Rouen Castle was a fortified ducal and royal residence in the city of Rouen, capital of the duchy of Normandy, now in France. With the exception of the tower wrongly associated with Joan of Arc, which was restored by Viollet-le-Duc in the 19th century, the castle was destroyed at the end of the 16th century, its stones quarried for other construction.

The Rouen Ceramic Museum is a museum located in the hôtel d'Hocqueville in the French city of Rouen. It has the title Museum of France. It was established in 1864, and contains a collection of around 5000 pieces.
Since 1984, the museum has occupied the Hôtel d'Hocqueville, known as the Hôtel de Bellegarde. Dating from the 17th century, it is built on the ruins of the castle of Rouen, itself built on the ruins of the Gallo-Roman amphitheater of Rotomagus. This mansion, with part of its outbuildings, was listed as a historic monument on April 8, 1935; it was then classified as a historic monument on July 28, 1937 for the facades and roofs of the hotel.
Albizias have been planted in the museum garden.

The equestrian statue of Napoleon is a monument located at Place du Général-de-Gaulle in the French city of Rouen in Normandy. The equestrian statue depicts Napoleon on horseback and was erected in 1865. It was sculpted in bronze by Gabriel-Vital Dubray, and its pedestal was designed by Louis Desmarest. It stands in front of the Hôtel de Ville in Rouen.
In 1881, during the Third French Republic, the city's administration saw the statue of the emperor as contrary to their values. There were plans to melt it into a new statue of an effigy of the republic, or to remove the man and leave only the horse; these plans did not come to fruition due to lack of funds.
In June 2020, the statue was taken down for repairs. Fractures in the hoof of the horse meant that it could have fallen down. A treasure chest of bronze, silver and gold coins of Napoleon III – nephew of Napoleon I and the reigning emperor at the time of inauguration – was found inside the pedestal.
In September 2021, Socialist mayor Nicolas Mayer-Rossignol wished to replace it with a statue or work of art dedicated to the recently deceased feminist Gisèle Halimi. This plan was strongly opposed by the leader of the city's opposition, Jean-François Bures. Historian Thierry Lentz, director of the Fondation Napoléon, called the plan "cancel culture" and argued that Napoleon was a benefactor of Rouen, making him more locally relevant than Halimi.
In December 2021, a survey of 4,080 residents found that 68% wanted the statue to remain, and the city council said it would respect the result. Later in December 2021, the statue was registered as a monument historique.
