Origin and history

The 17th-century house, located at 17 rue Fardel in Saint-Brieuc (Côtes-d'Armor), is an example of civil architecture of this period. It was classified as Historic Monument by order of 24 March 1926, specifically protecting its facade and roof. This type of building reflects constructive techniques and popular decorative styles in the Breton region in the seventeenth century.

Saint-Brieuc, the town of Brittany, was at that time a developing urban centre, marked by commercial and craft activities. Bourgeois or notable houses, like this one, often served as residences for wealthy families or merchants. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the urban and social evolution of the region.

The available data indicate that the exact location of this monument is approximate, with an accuracy considered poor (note 5/10). The official address recorded at the Merimée base is 17 Fardel Street, although GPS coordinates suggest a close location at 12 of the same street. No additional information is provided regarding its current use or potential historical owners.
