Origin and history

This house, located at 8 rue Saint-Benoît in Saint-Malo, is a historical monument built in the 17th century. It is part of the city's architectural heritage, marked by its maritime history and fortifications. Its origin is related to the early enclosure of Saint Malo, although the precise details of its role in this defensive structure are not explicitly documented in available sources.

The façade of this house was protected by an order of inscription under the Historical Monuments on 14 February 1946. This official recognition underscores its heritage interest, particularly for its style representative of 17th century civil architecture in Brittany. The sources also mention an approximate location, with an accuracy considered "passable" (note of 5/10), and administrative references linking it to the municipality of Saint-Malo, in the department of Ille-et-Vilaine.

No information is available about historic owners, architects or specific events associated with this house. The data are limited to its status as a protected monument and its integration into the urban fabric of Saint-Malo, a port city whose history is closely linked to the corsair and maritime trade from the modern era.
