Origin and history

The building at 32 rue Saint-Georges in Rennes is an example of 16th century civil architecture, marked by late medieval features. Its façade is distinguished by a gable roof directly open to the street, as well as a bent front-story on the ground floor. The very prominent corbelled floors reinforce its picturesque appearance and its anchoring in the constructive traditions of the Breton Renaissance, where Gothic influences persisted.

Ranked Historical Monument since 1967 for its facades and roofs, this building illustrates the transition between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance in Rennes urban planning. Its location in the historic centre, near Rue Saint-Georges, highlights its integration into a changing urban fabric. Available sources (Monumentum, Merimée base) confirm its inscription as protected monuments, but do not specify its original use or any notable owners.

The accuracy of its geographical location is considered "passable" (note 5/10), with an approximate address both on the Mérimée base (32 rue Saint-Georges) and via GPS coordinates (26 rue Saint-Georges). This disparity reflects the documentation challenges of small historic buildings in dense urban areas. No information is available on its current accessibility (visits, contemporary use).
