Origin and history

The Locronan building, located on Church Square, is one of the 16th and 17th century houses bordering the historic heart of the village. These buildings, typical of the Breton Renaissance architecture, testify to the prosperity of Locronan at that time, linked in particular to his textile activity and his status as a merchant town. The communal well, still visible in the centre of the square, recalls the collective organisation of daily life.

Ranked Historic Monument by decree of March 11, 1927, this building includes an adjoining courtyard, highlighting its heritage importance. The precise location, between the Church Square and Saint-Maurice Street, reflects the medieval and modern urban planning of Locronan, where public and private buildings coexisted around common spaces. The available data also mention a location accuracy considered "passible" (note 5/10), indicating coordinates to be refined.

No information is provided on its current use (visit, rental, accommodation), but its ranking protects its architectural and historical integrity.
