Origin and history

The old houses of Josselin, located at 27 rue Olivier-de-Clisson, are an architectural testimony of the sixteenth century. Their presence in the historic centre of this Breton city, marked by its medieval castle and ramparts, suggests a history linked to commercial activities. The structure of these houses, especially the presence of stalls, suggests that they once housed merchants or artisans, thus playing an economic role in local life.

Classified Historical Monument since 1931 for their facades and roofs, these houses illustrate the urban evolution of Josselin in the Renaissance. Their heritage protection underscores their historical and architectural value, although their exact location is considered approximate (accuracy noted 5/10). Today, they are integrated into the landscape of this Morbihan municipality, recalling the importance of trade in the small Breton towns of modern times.

Their inclusion in the inventory of Historical Monuments, by decree of 17 April 1931, specifically concerns the external elements (facades and roofs), as indicated in the Merimée base. No information is available on their current use, whether they are visits, accommodation or other services. Their conservation status and accessibility are not detailed in the sources consulted.
