Timeline

Origin and history

The house at 1 Rue Brizeux in Carhaix-Plouguer is a building dating from the 3rd quarter of the 16th century. This building, typical of the civil architecture of the Breton Renaissance, is distinguished by its protected elements: the facade and the roof, inscribed in the inventory of Historical Monuments by decree of 3 June 1932. Its location in the city centre, close to the town hall square, suggests a potentially significant role in the local life of the period.

Carhaix-Plouguer, the town of Finistère in Brittany, was in the Renaissance a crossroads of commercial and cultural exchanges. The houses of this period often reflect the growing prosperity of the bourgeois or merchants, as well as the influence of architectural styles from other French regions. Although the archives do not specify the exact use of this house, its classification reflects its heritage value and historical interest in understanding Breton urban habitat from the 16th and 17th centuries.

Available data from the Merimée database and Monumentum indicate an approximate location between the official address (1 Rue Brizeux) and a GPS position close to the town hall square. This geolocalized imprecise (noted 5/10) could be explained by later urban changes or survey errors. No information is provided on its current accessibility, whether it be visits, rentals or accommodation.
