Has built the house (1570-1600).
Origin and history
Roscoff's home, built between the late 16th and early 17th centuries, was commissioned by a local merchant in the years 1570-1600. This monument illustrates the region's economic dynamism, marked by maritime trade and trade with England and the Netherlands. Minor transformations, such as the 1603 skylight, reflect the architectural adaptations of the era.
The interior of the house retains an arrangement of the early eighteenth century, but its most remarkable element remains the five panels of painted panel on the first floor. These works, rare in an urban house, represent landscapes and views of the port of Roscoff, offering a valuable visual testimony of the city at this time. The room housing these panels was classified as Historic Monument in 1998, while the rest of the house has been registered since 1997.
The location of the residence, between Armand-Rousseau Street and Rue des Moguerou, highlights its integration into the historical urban fabric of Roscoff. Although the sources do not specify its current use, its protected status demonstrates its heritage importance. Paintings on panelling, in particular, are a unique example of domestic decoration linked to the city's port identity.
