Origin and history

The house in Pontivy, dating from the 15th century, is a remarkable example of Breton medieval civil architecture. It is characterized by a facade adorned with wooden panels and sculptures, including a large sculpture on the first floor. These decorative elements, as well as the consoles, bear witness to a refined craftsmanship for the time, unique to the urban constructions of this region.

The building is surmounted by a skylight with a sunlit roof, an architectural feature that reinforces its historic character. The house was partially protected under the Historic Monuments by a decree of 8 May 1933, specifically covering its facade and roof. This official recognition underscores its heritage importance in the urban landscape of Pontivy.

Located at 12 rue du Pont, this house is located in the Morbihan department in Brittany. Although its exact location is approximate (precision noted as "passable"), it remains a tangible testimony of the bourgeois or artisanal habitat of the 15th century. Its state of preservation and its architectural details make it a subject of study to understand the construction techniques and lifestyles of the period in Brittany.
