Timeline

Origin and history

The house at 7 Rue du Petit-Fort in Dinan is a 16th-century civilian building. This building, typical of the Breton urban architecture of the Renaissance, was classified as Historic Monument by ministerial decree on 22 June 1928. Its classification reflects its heritage importance, although the available sources do not specify the exact reasons for this protection or the details of its construction or historic occupants.

Dinan, a medieval fortified town of Brittany, experienced a significant economic and urban boom in the 15th and 16th centuries, a period marked by maritime trade, crafts and the emergence of a local bourgeoisie. The houses of this time, like the Petit-Fort, often reflect this prosperity through their open facades, their materials (stone, half-timbers) and their integration into the dense urban fabric. These houses served as both a dwelling, a workshop or a place of commerce, illustrating the versatility of spaces in the Breton towns of the Renaissance.

Practical information about this house remains limited: its exact address is confirmed (7 rue du Petit-Fort, INSEE code 22050 for Côtes-d-Armor), but its access to the public, its current use or possible visits are not documented in the available sources. The approximate GPS location and the map accuracy note (5/10, deemed "passable") suggest a site identification without warranty of completeness.
