Origin and history

The 17th century house located in Ploërmel, Brittany, is a historical monument whose stone façade was preserved despite partial reconstructions. It is distinguished by its elevation consisting of a ground floor, two floors and an attic, as well as an axial entrance door framed with superimposed pilaster windows. A circular pediment, adorned with shells in the tympanum, crowned together, while a frieze carries a shield surrounded by waves of ribbons. These decorative elements reflect the influence of the classical architectural styles of the time.

The southern façade, classified as a Historical Monument by order of 9 June 1925, is the only protected element of the building. Although the house was partly rebuilt in the 19th century, the anterior elevation was preserved, with notable changes such as the central bay of the third level and the central skylight. These changes illustrate the evolution of architectural needs and tastes between the 17th and 19th centuries, while preserving traces of the original structure.

The exact address of this monument is Lamennais Square in Ploërmel, Morbihan department. The available information indicates that the location is approximate, with an accuracy considered fair. The house, although protected, does not appear open to the public for specific visits or services, according to current data. Its architecture and history bear witness to the Breton heritage of the modern era.
