Origin and history

The house at 10 rue de la Poterie in Vitré, Ille-et-Vilaine, is a monument listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments. Its inscription, dated 5 November 1926, specifically concerns its facade and roof, architectural elements considered representative of the local heritage. The building is located in the historic centre of Vitré, a Breton town marked by a rich medieval and reborn past, although this house is not explicitly associated with a specific period in the available sources.

In Brittany of the 19th and 20th centuries, urban houses like this often played a central role in the daily lives of the inhabitants. Vitré, a fortified and dynamic city, was a commercial and artisanal crossroads, where the buildings of the old town reflected both local traditions and external influences. The protected facades, like that of this house, illustrate the importance attached to preserving architectural traces, even when their detailed history remains partially documented.

The inscription under the title of Historical Monuments underlines the desire to keep these testimonies of the past for future generations.
