Origin and history

The house at 3 rue Saint-René in Auray (Morbihan) is a monument listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments since 1935. Only its facades and roofs, specified under cadastral reference A 142, enjoy this official protection. The building, now privately owned, illustrates the city's traditional civil architecture, although its detailed history and exact construction period are not explicitly documented in available sources.

Auray, a Breton town marked by its medieval and maritime heritage, has several protected buildings reflecting its urban evolution. Old houses, like this one, often bear witness to the local lifestyle between the 19th and 20th centuries, when the city developed around its port and commercial activities. Their preservation allows us to preserve the memory of the constructive techniques and domestic uses of the time, even if the archives sometimes lack details about their specific context.
