Origin and history

The house located at 20 Rue Colvestre in Tréguier is a two-storey building with a partially wooden panel on the street façade. Its decor includes five posts carved in columns swollen on two levels, crowned with Corinthian capitals. The back façade, garden side, is completely coated. A window lintel bears the inscription "IHS 1729 Mr", suggesting a modification or renovation on that date. The stylistic analysis of the woodpan indicates a probable construction in the second half of the 16th century, while the present door would date from the 17th century.

The ground floor housed a shop, and the house is historically linked to the "House of the Duke Jean V" (n°22), with which it formed a unique real estate complex in the 19th century. In 1835, the two houses and their gardens (cadastral parks 250 and 251) belonged to Firmin Cadiau, resident of Tréguier. In 1877, Émile Le Taillandier (lawyer, alternate judge and future mayor of Lannion) became the owner, alongside the neighbouring house. The facades and roofs were inscribed in the Historical Monuments on March 10, 1964, while the house belonged to Jeanne Bougon, widow of Allain Le Mée.

In 1966, a false device coating covered the wood panel, as evidenced by archival photographs. Today, houses number 20 and number 22 have been owned by a single owner since 2019. Inside, some original woodwork remains, recalling the historic character of this three-way bourgeois dwelling.
