Origin and history
The house at 20 rue de Paradis in Laval is a typical example of 16th and 17th century civil architecture. This building is distinguished by its corbellation based on solitives, a technique common in urban constructions of this time. Although its exact date of construction is not specified, the sources suggest a probable origin in the sixteenth century, with elements confirming an occupation in the next century.
Classified as a Historic Monument by order of 9 March 1927, this house is protected for its facade and roof. These architectural elements reflect the local know-how and stylistic influences of the Renaissance in Mayenne. The location in downtown Laval, then in full economic growth, underlines its importance in the urban fabric of the time.
The available information indicates an average geographical accuracy (level 5/10), with an official address registered in the Merimée database. No mention is made of any specific current use (visit, rental, etc.), but its protected status makes it a witness to the Laval built heritage. Sources are mainly from the Monumentum database and associated internal data.
