Origin and history

The building, located at the Cassard Drive (or Cassard Pier) in Nantes, is an emblematic building of the 2nd half of the 18th century. Built in a representative architectural style of that time, it was inscribed as historical monuments by ministerial decree of 10 May 1935. Protected elements specifically include facades and roofs, highlighting their heritage value.

The building is attributed to Ceineray, the architect mentioned in the archives, although the details of its design or sponsor are not specified. Its exact address, intersected between the sources, varies slightly: 1 quai Cassard (Mérimée base) or 1 aisle Cassard (GPS coordinates). This ambiguity reflects the toponymic evolutions of Nantes, an expanding port town in the 18th century.

The protection of 1935 is part of a broader approach to the preservation of the heritage of Nantes, marked by its maritime and architectural history. The building, although not open to the public according to available data, bears witness to the know-how of the local artisans and town planning of the time. No information is provided on its current use (housing, offices, etc.) or possible restorations after 1935.
