Timeline

Origin and history

The house at 2 Rue de Lusignan in Fougères is a typical example of 17th century civil architecture. It is distinguished by its gable structure, combining a ground floor masonry and a wooden floor. This type of construction reflects the local techniques of the time, combining robustness and traditional aesthetics.

Classified as a Historic Monument by order of 17 April 1931, this house is protected for its facade and roof, representative of the Breton built heritage. Its historic address, formerly associated with Nançon Street, reflects the urban evolution of Fougères, a city marked by its medieval heritage and its development in modern times.

The location of this monument, although documented (Insee code 35115, Ille-et-Vilaine), remains poor (note 5/10), reflecting the limitations of available geographic data. The house, now visible via tools like Street View, embodies the daily life of the inhabitants of Fougères in the 17th century, where half-timbered houses served both as a dwelling and a workshop for local artisans.
