Timeline

Origin and history

The 2 Maisons Place Duchesse-Anne are a monument located in the municipality of Sarzeau, Brittany. Their architecture and location on this iconic square suggest local historic significance, although the available sources do not specify their date of construction or their original use. In the Breton context, old houses such as these often reflect the urban and social evolution of port or commercial cities.

Sarzeau, close to the Rhuys peninsula, was able to experience an activity related to fishing, commerce or crafts, where such buildings served as dwellings, workshops or trading places. Their preservation today contributes to the collective memory and built heritage of the region.
