Timeline

Origin and history

The house located at 33-31 rue de l'Horloge in Dinan, Brittany, is a monument listed among historical monuments. Its classification, which took place by decree on 4 December 1961, specifically concerns its facades and roofs, identified under the reference cadastral B 848. This building, whose exact address is documented in the Mérimée base, reflects the typical architecture of the city of Dinan, marked by a rich medieval and reborn past.

The location of this monument, although specified by GPS coordinates and an administrative address, remains subject to a mixed assessment of its accuracy, noted 5 out of 10 in the available sources. Dinan, the emblematic town of the Côtes d'Armor, is known for its preserved historic centre, where half-timbered houses and cobbled alleys testify to its past importance in trade and craftsmanship. This type of house, often linked to bourgeois or artisanal housing, played a central role in urban life, sheltering both housing, workshops and shops.

The protected elements of this house, namely its facades and roofs, underline the importance attached to the preservation of its external appearance, characteristic of French heritage policies aimed at preserving the authenticity of ancient centres. No additional information is available about its specific history, owners or past uses, except its status as a Historic Monument.

The Creative Commons license associated with the photo of the monument, credited to Amadalvarez, indicates visual accessibility of the building, although the practical information about its visit, rental or current use (guest rooms, etc.) is not specified in the sources consulted. The house thus remains a silent but protected testimony of the urban history of Dinan and its region, Brittany.
