Origin and history

The building located at 10-12 rue de la Psalette in Rennes is a 17th century building, typical of the civil architecture of this period in Brittany. It is now classified as a Historical Monument, with an official inscription by order of 4 July 1942. This building was originally an outbuilding of the old choir children's house, located at number 8 on the same street, suggesting a historical link with local religious and musical life.

The street of the Psalette, where this building is located, bears a name evoking the psalette, a medieval musical instrument close to the psalte, reinforcing the hypothesis of a past linked to the musical formation of the choir children. Available data indicate that its location is considered "a priori satisfactory", with an address confirmed in the Merimée database. No additional information is provided on its current use (visit, accommodation, etc.), or on any historic owners or occupants.

The 1942 classification refers specifically to the whole building (cadastre AC 592, 993), without any specific architectural elements. Sources mention a Creative Commons license for associated photographs, but no iconographic or stylistic details are described. The commune of Rennes, identified by code Insee 35238, belongs to the department of Ille-et-Vilaine, in Brittany, a geographical context consistent with the period of construction.
