Origin and history

The house at 33 rue Saint-Christophe is a civil building located in the Croisic, in the Loire-Atlantique department, in the Pays de la Loire region. Built in the 16th century, it represents an example of the domestic architecture of this period, typical of the harbour towns of the Atlantic. Its designation as historic monuments in 1932 underscores its heritage interest, particularly in its facade and roof, protected by ministerial decree.

In the 16th century, Le Croisic was an active port, integrated into the country of Gerande, known for its maritime trade and salt production. The houses of that time often reflected the prosperity of local merchants or shipowners, with stone or wooden facades. This type of building, although apparently modest, played a central role in urban life, hosting both housing and sometimes craft and commercial activities. The protection of this heritage now preserves the memory of this pivotal period between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

The house is listed in the Mérimée base, a reference tool for the French architectural heritage inventory. Its exact address, 33 rue Saint-Christophe, is confirmed by official sources, as is its attachment to the commune of Croisic (code Insee 44049). No information is available on its current use, whether it be visits, rentals or accommodation. The associated GPS data indicate a satisfactory location, without any additional precision on any changes that the vessel has undergone since its classification.
