Origin and history

The house at 20 rue Saint-François in Quimper is a typical example of civil architecture in the second half of the 16th century. It is distinguished by its facade in wooden panels and crepassing on lattis, characteristic of the buildings of this period in the region. This building is part of the ancient urban fabric of Quimper, showing local construction techniques and craftsmanship.

Classified as a Historical Monument by order of 22 May 1956, this house enjoys protection for its facade on street and the corresponding roof slope. This official recognition underlines its heritage importance and its role in the preservation of Breton architectural heritage. The exact address, referenced in the Merimée base, confirms its anchoring in the historic center of Quimper, Finistère department.

The location of this monument, although documented (GPS coordinates and mailing address), is considered to be of poor accuracy (level 5 of 10). This reflects the limitations of geographic data available for some old buildings. Despite this, the house remains a visible landmark in the neighbourhood, accessible from Rue Saint-François, and contributes to the visual identity of the city.
