Origin and history

The house located at 11 Poterie Street in Vitré, Ille-et-Vilaine, is a monument listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments. Its inscription, dated 5 November 1926, specifically concerns the facade and roof, architectural elements considered representative of the local heritage. Although the accuracy of its location is assessed as poor (note 5/10), its official address remains referenced in the Merimée base, confirming its anchoring in the historic centre of Vitré.

Vitré, a Breton town marked by a rich medieval and reborn past, has many protected civil and religious buildings. Old houses, such as those on Poterie Street, often illustrate the evolution of construction techniques and architectural styles between the Middle Ages and the modern era. These buildings, sometimes owned by local associations, play a role in preserving the collective memory and tourist attraction of the region.

Their protection responds to a desire to safeguard material testimonies of past lifestyles and urban organization.
