Origin and history
The house at 19 Place Saint-Sauveur in Auray, Morbihan, is a monument listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments since 1935. Its classification specifically concerns facades and roofs, showing a heritage interest in its architecture, probably representative of the city's old urban buildings. The exact address, confirmed by the Merimée base, also includes a reference to the rue du Petit-Port, suggesting a central location in the historical fabric of Auray.
Auray, a Breton town marked by its maritime and commercial history, has many half-timbered or stone houses from the 17th to the 19th centuries. Although the exact period of construction of this house is not specified, its inscription in 1935 reflects a desire to preserve a built heritage characteristic of the region. Monuments of this type, often linked to bourgeois or artisanal housing, illustrate the urban and social evolution of Brittany over the centuries.
The location of the house, noted with an average accuracy (5/10) in the sources, indicates that it is located near the port, a strategic place for trade and economic life of Auray. The available data do not mention specific current use (visit, accommodation, etc.), but its protected status makes it a key element of the local historical landscape.
