Origin and history

This building, located at 13-15 rue des Grands-Degrés in Saint-Malo, dates from the 1st quarter of the 18th century. It is integrated into the original enclosure of the Malouin city, testifying to its historical urbanism. Its facade and roof, characteristic of the architecture of the period, were inscribed in the Historical Monuments by decree of 17 February 1950, highlighting their heritage value.

The location of the building, in the ancient heart of Saint Malo, reflects the strategic and commercial importance of the city in the 18th century. At that time, Saint-Malo was a dynamic port, marked by privateers and maritime trade. The buildings of that time, like this building, often served as dwellings for merchants or shipowners, while participating in the defence of the city through their integration into the ramparts.

Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum base, indicate that the exact address (13-15 rue des Grands-Degrès) is a historical area where location accuracy is estimated to be "passable" (note 5/10). No additional information is provided on any owners, specific uses or major alterations of the building after its construction.
