Origin and history

The house at 26 rue Beaudrairie in Vitré is an emblematic building of the 15th and 16th centuries. Classified as a Historical Monument, it bears witness to the civil architecture of the Breton Renaissance, with a facade and roof protected by ministerial decree since 1927. Its location in the historic centre of Vitré, a city marked by a rich medieval heritage and reborn, makes it a representative example of the bourgeois dwellings of the period.

Vitré, then under the influence of the Duchy of Brittany, experienced economic and urban growth in the 15th and 16th centuries. The houses of this period often reflect the prosperity of local merchants and artisans, with decorative elements inspired by late Gothic styles and reborn. This type of building, typical of Breton cities, served both as a dwelling, workshop and sometimes as a place of commerce, illustrating the daily life and social organization of the period.

Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum base, confirm its status as a Historic Monument and specify its exact address. The location, although noted as "passable" (level 5/10), makes it possible to clearly identify the building in the urban fabric of Vitré. No additional information on its occupants or specific use is mentioned in the documents consulted.
