Origin and history

The house at 6 rue Saint-Yves in Rennes is an emblematic civilian building built in the 16th century. It is distinguished by its wooden panels structure, an architectural technique that was widespread in Brittany at the time. This type of construction reflects local know-how and available materials, while illustrating the evolution of urban dwellings during the Renaissance.

Classified as a Historic Monument by order of 8 May 1933, this house saw its facade and roof protected for their heritage value. The inscription bears witness to the importance attached to the preservation of ancient buildings in the historic centre of Rennes, a city marked by a rich medieval and modern past. The location, in a typical street of the old Rennes, reinforces its historical and tourist interest.

The available data, from the Merimée database and Monumentum, underline its protected heritage status, although information on its original use or historical occupants remains missing from the sources. The accuracy of its location is considered "a priori satisfactory", with an address confirmed by both administrative registers and GPS coordinates. The house thus fits into the Rennes urban landscape as a tangible vestige of 16th century domestic architecture.
