Origin and history
The 18th-century building, located at 11 Kervégan Street in Nantes, is an emblematic building of the Nantes heritage. It is distinguished by its oval inner courtyard, shared with the buildings of Nos. 9 and 9bis of the Turenne wharf. Ranked historic monument by decree of 5 December 1984, it illustrates the refined civil architecture of the period, with protected facades and roofs, as well as interior elements such as the stairwell and its iron ramps.
The oval courtyard houses six 18th-century windows, equipped with bluish tiles with droplet relief, typical of the period's artisanal glassware. The balconies, equipped with ironwork railings of great finesse, bear witness to exceptional know-how for this period. Originally, the latrines were used as toilet stalls; Today, they house the technical networks (electricity, water) of homes. This mix of old and modern uses highlights the adaptability of the heritage.
Legal protections cover not only facades and roofs, but also carpentry, ironworks and stairwells, highlighting the historical and artistic value of the ensemble. The building is located in Feydeau Island, an area rich in architectural heritage, as evidenced by bibliographical references and links to regional inventories of historical monuments.
