Timeline

Origin and history

The house at 10 rue du Puits-aux-Braies in Saint-Malo is a historic monument whose facades and roofs were inscribed by order of 14 February 1946. This building was part of the original enclosure of the Malouin city, which underlines its importance in the medieval or ancient urban fabric. Its location, in a historic street, reflects the evolution of the fortified city over the centuries.

The location of this monument, although documented in the Mérimée base under the exact address and approximate GPS coordinates (9 rue des Petits Degrees), remains subject to limited accuracy, assessed as "passable" (note 5/10). This impreciseness can be explained by the successive urban transformations of Saint-Malo, a city marked by its maritime history and ramparts. No additional information on its architecture, occupants or precise use is available from the sources consulted.

Saint-Malo, the strategic port of Brittany, has had a turbulent history linked to piracy, trade and maritime conflicts. Old houses like this bear witness to daily life in a fortified city, where each building could play a defensive or logistical role. Their preservation makes it possible to evoke the social and economic organization of a city facing the sea, between artisans, merchants and sailors.
