Origin and history
The Malouinière de la Fosse-Hingant, located in Saint-Coulomb en Ille-et-Vilaine, is an emblematic monument dating from the 17th century, profoundly transformed in the 18th and 19th centuries. This type of residence, characteristic of the Malouin shipowners, is distinguished by its six-span housing body, a rare architectural peculiarity for a malouinière, usually designed with an odd number of spans. The site also includes outbuildings such as a chapel restored in 1781, a dovecote, and an antique temple-shaped billiard room, reflecting the influence of Tuscan models during the 19th century reshuffles.
Acquired in 1656 by Olivier Trublet des Champs, the property then passed to its descendants, including François Trublet, commissioner general of the navy at Saint-Malo in the 18th century. The malouinière played a central role during the caulianry, sheltering the conspiracy of La Rouërie, a striking episode of royalist resistance in Brittany. After the betrayal that reveals the plot, the estate, associated with these troubled events, is temporarily renamed Nermont, by the name of a neighbouring land, to erase its sulphurous reputation.
Ranked a historic monument in 1995, the Hingant Fosse illustrates the architectural and political evolution of the region. Changes made under the Restoration, such as the addition of a three-span forebody, are part of a desire for modernization while preserving the original structure. The estate, with its commons, chapel and walled enclosure, today bears witness to the heritage of the Malian elites, between maritime power, political commitment and cultural heritage.
The history of the malouinière is also that of the families that possessed it, from the Trublet to the Desilles, until the Revolution. Its architecture, combining classical rigor and romantic fantasy, makes it a unique example of Breton aristocratic residences, where local influences and italian inspirations cross. The accuracy of its location (approximate GPS coordinates) and its inscription in historical monuments make it a protected site, open to study and heritage valuation.
