Origin and history

The Locronan building, dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, is one of the traditional houses bordering the central square of the village. This area, marked by preserved architecture, also houses a communal well, symbol of the collective life of the time. These buildings reflect the Breton urban planning of the Renaissance, where public spaces played a key role in everyday life.

Ranked Historic Monument by decree of March 11, 1927, this building includes an adjoining courtyard, highlighting its heritage importance. The precise location, Church Square in Locronan (Finistry), confirms its anchoring in the historical heart of the village. Available data indicate an approximate GPS address (1 Bis Rue Saint-Maurice), but cartographic accuracy remains limited (level 6/10).

The Place de Locronan, surrounded by these ancient houses, illustrates the social and economic organization of the Breton villages in the 16th and 17th centuries. Buildings, often linked to artisanal or commercial activities, also served as housing for local families. Their preservation today offers a tangible testimony of this period, attracting visitors and researchers interested in Breton architectural heritage.
