Timeline

Origin and history

The house located in 5 Place de la République in Auray is an example of traditional wood-paned architecture. This type of construction, common in Brittany, testifies to medieval or post-medieval building techniques, although the exact period of this house is not specified in the available sources. Its inscription under the title of Historical Monuments, by decree of 22 November 1949, specifically concerns the facade and roof, highlighting their heritage value.

The official inscription of 1949 protects remarkable architectural elements, such as facades and roofs, often characteristic of Breton city centres. These wooden houses generally served as houses or shops for local artisans and merchants. Their preservation makes it possible to understand the urban planning and way of life of the Breton people throughout the centuries, even if the historical details specific to this house remain limited in the accessible archives.
