Origin and history

The house at 21 Fardel Street in Saint-Brieuc is a 17th-century civil building. It was classified as a Historic Monument, with specific protection for its facade and roof by order of 24 March 1926. This type of building illustrates the Breton domestic architecture of this period, marked by local influences and traditional materials such as stone and wood.

Saint-Brieuc, a town in the Côtes-d'Armor department in Brittany, was at that time a developing urban centre, where bourgeois houses and merchant houses reflected the economic prosperity of the region. The 17th century buildings, like this house, were often intended for wealthy families or artisans, playing a role in the social and economic structure of the city. Their preservation now allows us to understand the lifestyles and construction techniques of the time.

The location of this house, indicated with average accuracy (note of 5/10), suggests that it is located in the historic centre of Saint-Brieuc.
