Origin and history

This house, located in Saint-Malo, Ille-et-Vilaine, is a historical monument whose facades were inscribed by order of 14 February 1946. It is located at 6 rue Saint-Benoît, in the city centre, and is part of the remains of the original enclosure of the city of Mali. Its architecture thus reflects an ancient period of Saint Malo's urban history, although the exact date of its construction is not specified in the available sources.

Houses integrated into the walls or medieval enclosures often played a defensive role while sheltering residents. In Saint-Malo, the major port city of Brittany, these buildings testify to the urban evolution linked to maritime and commercial activities. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the spatial and social organization of the city throughout the centuries.

The protection of facades in 1946 underscores the heritage importance of this building, although information on its original use or historical occupants remains limited. The location, noted as approximate with an accuracy considered fair (5/10), indicates that uncertainties remain as to its exact location in the archives.
