Origin and history

The house at 1 Rue du Belzic in Auray, Morbihan, is a historic monument dating from the 16th century. This wooden building illustrates the civil architecture of the Breton Renaissance, with a characteristic structure of this period. Its location in the city centre of Auray, a medieval city marked by its port and maritime history, makes it a witness to local constructive techniques.

Classified as a Historical Monument by order of 17 April 1931, this house enjoys special protection for its facade and roof. This listing reflects its heritage importance, although the available sources do not specify its original use or its potential owners. The exact address, "1 Rue du Belzic" (formerly Rue de la République), confirms its anchoring in the historic urban fabric of Auray, a city whose development is linked to its commercial and port role in Brittany.

The current data do not mention sponsors or craftsmen who worked on its construction. However, its architectural style and location suggest a link to the economic boom of the region in the 16th century, when Auray was a crossroads between land and sea. The accuracy of its location is assessed as "passible" (note 5/10), indicating an approximate knowledge of its exact location.

No information is available on its access to the public, any tourist vocation or related services (visits, accommodation). Sources are limited to architectural and administrative descriptions, without details of its social history or subsequent transformations.
