Origin and history

The house at 23 rue Beaudrairie in Vitré is an emblematic monument of 15th and 16th century civil architecture. Classified as a Historic Monument, it illustrates the city's built heritage during the late medieval period and the Renaissance. Its facades and roofs, protected by decree of 5 November 1926, bear witness to the constructive techniques and decorative styles of the period.

Vitré, a fortified town in Brittany, experienced a major economic and urban boom between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The houses of this period often reflect the prosperity of local merchants and craftsmen, as well as the influence of cultural exchanges with other regions. This type of building, typical of historic city centres, served both as a dwelling and as a place of commercial or artisanal activity, playing a central role in everyday life.
