Origin and history

The house at 9 rue de la Poterie in Vitré, Ille-et-Vilaine, is a monument listed in the inventory of Historical Monuments since 1926. Only its façade and roof, identified under the cadastral reference AB 191, enjoy this official protection. The building embodies an example of the traditional glass building, although the available archives do not specify its period of construction or its exact historical use.

Vitré, a medieval town in Brittany, has preserved a rich architectural heritage, marked by wooden houses and stone buildings. This type of house, although little documented in the sources, is part of an urban context where crafts and commerce played a central role from the Middle Ages. The protections under the Historic Monuments, such as the 1926 Monument, often aim to preserve representative elements of that time, even when their detailed history remains fragmentary.
