Origin and history

The house at 9 rue Saint-René in Auray, Morbihan, is a monument listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments since 1935. Only its façade and roof, referenced under the A 61 cadastre, enjoy this official protection. The building, now owned by a private company, does not provide precise information about its initial construction period or historical use.

Auray, a Breton town with a rich medieval and maritime past, has many half-timbered or stone houses dating from the 17th to 19th centuries. This type of housing often reflected the social status of its local owners, merchants or notables. Although the archives are missing for this specific house, its inscription bears witness to its architectural or historical interest in the urban fabric of Auray, marked by influences both Breton and French.
