Origin and history
The house located at 6 rue Houvenagle in Saint-Brieuc is a building combining the architectural influences of the Renaissance and the classical era. Although its construction seems to date mainly from the eighteenth century, some decorative elements, such as door pediments or interior woodwork, bear witness to an older heritage dating back to the sixteenth century. These details suggest reuse or integration of pre-existing elements during reconstruction or renovation.
The street façade, characterized by two doors surmounted by a pediment and a central window, and the corresponding roof, were inscribed in the Historical Monuments by order of 9 March 1963. Inside, 18th-century woodwork, typical of the craft of the period, adds additional heritage value to this building. The exact address, confirmed by the Merimée base, places this monument in the center of Saint-Brieuc, in Brittany.
