Origin and history

The house at 4 rue Saint-Mathieu in Quimper is a typical example of 17th-century civil architecture in Brittany. It is distinguished by its facade in wooden panels and crepassing on lattis, characteristic of the urban buildings of this period. The building is integrated into the ancient fabric of the city, reflecting local construction techniques and the organisation of historic neighbourhoods.

Classified as a Historic Monument, this house was partially protected by decree of 22 May 1956, specifically covering its street façade and the corresponding roof slope. This inscription highlights its heritage interest, although its precise location remains approximate (level 5 on a scale of 10). The building, still visible in the city centre, reflects the urban evolution of Quimper, a city marked by its medieval past and its commercial role in Brittany.

No information is available on its original use, its historical owners or on specific events that would take place there. The sources are limited to architectural data and its protection under the Historical Monuments, without details of its past function (housing, commerce, etc.) or its interior condition.
