Origin and history

The 15th century house in Rennes is a typical example of medieval architecture in wooden strips, dated 1461. It is distinguished by a small door in the middle of the hanger surmounted by an oculus today blocked, as well as by carved forepers. Its facade, decorated with small tiles, and irregular roof with coyals reflect the constructive techniques of the era. Two corbelled floors, one of which was partially modified by a later wall, add to its historical character.

Classified as a Historic Monument since 1965 for its facades and roofs, this house illustrates the architectural evolution between the Middle Ages and the modern era. Its structure, although transformed in the 17th century, preserves original elements such as the decorations of the foregrounds and the apparent frame. Located at 1 Derval Street, it now belongs to a private company, without its current use (visit, rental) being specified in the available sources.

GPS coordinates and approximate address (2 Place Saint-Melaine) suggest a central location in Rennes, although cartographic accuracy is considered poor (note 5/10). Heritage protections aim to preserve its authenticity, despite the adaptations experienced over the centuries. No information is available on any historic owners or occupants or on significant events related to this building.
