Origin and history

This house, located in Pluméliau-Bieuzy in Brittany, dates from the 3rd quarter of the 17th century. It is distinguished by its main stone house, with a square floor served by a structural staircase. The facade, decorated with sculptures (heads of the owners, pristine niche, mascaron), and its stone well with cylindrical margin and winch, bear witness to a refined architectural know-how. The long-paned roof, the pediment windows, and the door in the middle of the hanger framed with banded pilasters reinforce its historic character.

The lateral body, without floors, served as a stable and stable, while a secondary house, covered with a gable roof, housed a cellar with a large opening in the middle of the hangar. One hypothesis suggests that this house could have been used as a presbytery. Close by, another house, built between the 2nd half of the 17th and the 1st half of the 18th century, completes the whole. The adjacent farm, built in 1826 for Patern Le Mouel, includes a door from the castle of Rimaison, acquired during revolutionary sales.

Classified as a Historic Monument in 1935 for its 1656 façade and well, this house illustrates Breton civil architecture in the Great Century. Subsequent changes, such as the enhancement of a building body around 1920 after a fire, show its evolution over the centuries. The sculptural details, such as the heads of the owners (perhaps Patern Le Mouel) or the human figure in the pediment, add an artistic and personal dimension to this heritage.

The exact address, 7 Rue de Kerven, and its Insee code (56173) place it in the Morbihan, near Vannes. Although the accuracy of its location is considered mediocre (note 5/10), its inscription in the Historical Monuments makes it a valuable testimony to local history and the craft of the period.
