Timeline

Origin and history

The house in the 11 place au Beurre in Quimper is an example of traditional Breton civil architecture. Built in the 18th century, it is distinguished by its wooden panels structure with filling, a technique common in the region at that time. This type of construction reflects the local know-how and materials available, while meeting the needs of the inhabitants of the city, then in full economic and urban development.

Classified as a Historic Monument, this house was partially protected by order of 22 May 1956, specifically covering its street façade and the corresponding roof slope. This official recognition underlines its heritage interest, although the information available does not specify the exact reasons for this protection or any owners or craftsmen who contributed to its construction. Its location in the city center, close to streets with evocative names like Ar-Barz-Kadiou (the barde-singer in Breton), suggests a lively neighborhood, probably linked to the commercial and craft activities of Quimper in the Enlightenment century.

The location of this monument, indicated with an accuracy deemed passable (note of 5/10), places the house at the corner of the Place au Beurre and the street Ar-Barz-Kadiou. This address, listed in the Merimée database under Insee code 29232, confirms its anchoring in Finistère, the emblematic department of Brittany. However, the available data do not mention its current use (housing, commerce, visit) or any major changes since its construction.
