Origin and history

The house at 3 rue Geoffroy-de-Pont-Blanc, in Lannion (Côtes-d'Armor), is a typical example of 17th-century wood-paned architecture. Its richly sculpted facade features stands and sandstones decorated with cartridges and interlacings. The two upper floors, in successive corbels, are supported by posts decorated with engained cariatides and consoles. The ground floor, occupied by shops, is marked by granite piles decorated with ionic pilasters surrounding the doors.

Partially classified (facade and roof) as historical monuments by decree of 11 March 1944, this house illustrates the Breton architectural heritage of the modern era. Its location, both on General Leclerc Square and Geoffroy-de-Pont-Blanc Street, makes it a central part of Lannion's historic urban landscape. The sculptural details, such as the cariatides and the wrought sandstones, bear witness to a refined artisanal know-how, characteristic of bourgeois or commercial constructions of this period.

Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, confirm its status as a protected monument and highlight its architectural interest. Although the information about its historic occupants or its precise original function is lacking, its style and preservation make it a valuable witness to the 17th-century urban planning of Lannion. The house remains today a point of interest for those passionate about history and architecture, accessible from the central square of the city.
