Origin and history

The house at 5bis rue Brizeux (formerly 2) in Carhaix-Plouguer is a building dating from the 3rd quarter of the 16th century. It is representative of the civil architecture of this period in Brittany, with characteristic elements of the Renaissance. Its inscription as Historic Monument by decree of 3 June 1932 specifically concerns the facade and roof, highlighting their heritage value.

Carhaix-Plouguer, located in Finistère, was at that time a dynamic city, marked by trade and a developing urban life. The houses of this period were often used as houses for local merchants or notables, reflecting their social status through architectural details such as open facades or slate roofs. This type of building illustrates the evolution of construction techniques and stylistic influences from other French or European regions.

Available data indicate that the location of this monument is approximate, with an accuracy estimated at 5/10 according to the Merimée base. The house is always located in the city center, near a network of historic streets. No information is provided on its current use (visit, rental, etc.), or on any owners or occupants of its history.
