Origin and history

The Hotel de Rohan, located in Saint-Brieuc in the Côtes-d-Armor, is an emblematic 17th century building. This monument is distinguished by its granite facade and roofs, architectural features of the era. It was partially protected by an inscription under the Historic Monuments in 1935, highlighting its heritage importance.

The location of the Hotel de Rohan is attested by two addresses: the first, 2 rue Saint-Goueno, is that recorded in the Merimée base, while GPS coordinates suggest a nearby position at 3 rue de Rohan. These differences reflect uncertainties related to the accuracy of historical geographic data. The building, although classified, does not have detailed information on its current use (visits, rental, accommodation) in available sources.

The 17th century in Brittany was marked by a society still largely rural, where local elites, like noble families, built private hotels to assert their status. These urban residences served both as places of power and representation, while integrating into the economic and social fabric of cities such as Saint-Brieuc. The Hotel de Rohan fits in this context, although the archives do not specify its sponsor or its detailed history.
