The Archiepiscopal Palace of Rouen (French: Palais archiépiscopal de Rouen) is the official residence of the Metropolitan Archbishop of Rouen, Primate of Normandy. Designated a Monument Historique for the first time in 1862,[1] it is notably the only archiepiscopal palace in France that is adjoining a cathedral while retaining its original function as official residence of the archbishop.
