Origin and history

The building on No. 21 of Kervégan Street in Nantes, built in the 18th century, embodies the civil architecture of this period in the city. Its designation as historic monuments by order of 19 December 1984 specifically protects its facades, roofs and associated ironworks, highlighting their heritage value.

The precise location of this building in the Feydeau Island neighbourhood is attested by official sources such as Mérimée and Monumentum. This sector, marked by the urbanization of the eighteenth century, reflects Nantes' economic expansion linked to maritime trade and industry. The building, although little documented in its original uses, illustrates the bourgeois residential style of the time.

The bibliographical references, such as the book L'île Feydeau (1992) by Gilles Bienvenu et Françoise Lelièvre, confirm the importance of this heritage in the urban history of Nantes. The 1984 inscription is part of a broader approach to preserving the historical centre, as evidenced by the list of protected monuments of the Loire-Atlantique.
