Origin and history

The house located at 6 rue Saint-Sauveur in Rennes is a typical example of wood-paned architecture, characteristic of medieval and post-medieval urban buildings in Brittany. This type of building, often for residential or artisanal use, reflects local construction techniques and materials available at the time, such as wood and torchi. Classified as a Historical Monument by decree of 4 July 1942, this house illustrates the importance attached to the preservation of Breton built heritage in the 20th century.

Its inscription bears witness to its architectural and historical value, although the available archives do not specify its original use or any owners or craftsmen who contributed to its construction. The location in the historic centre of Rennes suggests a role in the daily life of the city, probably linked to commerce or housing.
