About Salt Granaries
Two 17th-century stone warehouses built in 1670 under Jean-Baptiste Colbert to store salt for the royal Gabelle tax and the Newfoundland cod fishing industry. Originally three buildings stood here; the third, built in 1699, burned down in 1892. The remaining granaries feature distinctive chestnut wood roof frames crafted by marine carpenters, resembling an inverted ship's hull similar to the nearby Église Sainte-Catherine.

The granaries were built using stones recycled from Honfleur's medieval fortifications. When the city walls were demolished to make way for expansion, their massive limestone blocks found new purpose in these warehouses, giving them their distinctively thick and fortress-like walls.
