Origin and history

The house at 26 rue des Boucheries in Quimper is a characteristic example of the 17th century Breton civil architecture. Its wooden panels facades, covered with a crepasing on lattis, rest on a masonry base, illustrating the local constructive techniques of the period. This building integrates into the ancient urban fabric of Quimper, a city marked by a medieval heritage and reborn preserved.

Classified as a Historical Monument by order of 22 May 1956, this house owes its protection to its facades on streets and to the corresponding roof slopes. Its location, at the junction of Rue des Boucheries and Rue des Gentilshommes, reflects the town's artisanal and social organization, where the streets often bore the names of the corporations or activities that concentrated there. No information is available on any owners or significant events related to this place.

The location of this monument, noted as "passable" (level 5/10) in the databases, corresponds to the official address of the cadastre (parcel A 510). Visual sources, such as Creative Commons licensed photographs, make it possible to appreciate its current state, although details of its contemporary use (visit, accommodation) are not specified. The house thus embodies a Breton vernacular heritage, a witness to the urban lifestyles of past centuries.
