Origin and history

This house, located in Saint-Malo, Ille-et-Vilaine, is a historical monument whose facades and roofs were inscribed by order of 14 February 1946. It is located at 10 rue du Puits-aux-Brayes, in the historic centre of the corsair city, and is part of the remains of the city's early enclosure. Its architecture thus reflects an ancient period of malouin urban planning, although its precise dating is not mentioned in the available sources.

In Saint-Malo, the houses integrated into the old fortifications testify to the evolution of the city, marked by its strategic and commercial role from the Middle Ages. These buildings, often made of stone, served both as dwellings and improvised ramparts, illustrating the adaptation of local populations to defence needs. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the spatial and social organization of the city throughout the centuries.
