Origin and history

The house at 12 rue Brémond-d'Ars in Quimperlé, Finistère, is a monument listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments. Its inscription, dated 19 October 1928, specifically concerns the facade and roof on street, architectural elements considered representative of the local heritage. This building, although little documented in the available sources, bears witness to the urban planning of Quimperlé at the beginning of the 20th century, when the city still kept traces of its medieval past while adapting to modern developments.

In Quimperlé, as in many Breton cities in the early 20th century, bourgeois or artisanal houses played a central role in urban life. They often housed shops on the ground floor and houses on the floors, reflecting a social organization where economic and domestic activities coexisted. This type of monument, though modest, contributes to the collective memory by embodying the daily lives of the inhabitants of the period.

Heritage protections, such as that of 1928, underline the importance attached to the preservation of facades and roofs, visible and symbolic elements of Breton architectural identity.
