Origin and history

The house located on 1 Rue du Jerzual in Dinan is a 16th century building, typical of the civil architecture of the Breton Renaissance. This monument, whose facades and roofs are protected by an inscription order of 4 December 1961, illustrates the built heritage of the medieval city of Dinan, marked by its merchant and port history. The precise location, although noted as "passable" (level 5/10), corresponds to the official address recorded in the Merimée base, confirming its anchoring in the historical center.

In the 16th century, Dinan, a fortified town in the Côtes d'Armor, experienced an economic boom linked to river trade and handicrafts. The houses of this period, like the Jerzual, reflect the prosperity of the local bourgeois and merchants. Their architecture, often in half-timbered or stone, served as both housing, workshop and storage space. This monument, although little documented in the available sources, bears witness to this pivotal period between the Middle Ages and modern times, where Dinan played a key role in the Breton region.

The protected elements of the house (facades and roofs) are referenced under cadastre B 76, highlighting their heritage value. No information is available on its current use (visit, rental, etc.), or on any historic owners or sponsors. The data are mainly from the Monumentum database and the Merimée archives, without further details on its construction or past occupants.
