Origin and history

The house at 1 Rue Émile-Mazé (formerly 1 Rue Neuve) in Guémené-sur-Scorff is a 15th and 16th century building. It is representative of the civil architecture of this period in Brittany, with characteristic elements such as its facade and roof, protected by a decree of inscription in 1935. Its location in the historic centre of the commune bears witness to medieval and reborn urban planning of the region.

Classified as a Historical Monument, this house illustrates the built heritage of Guémené-sur-Scorff, a small Breton town marked by its artisanal and agricultural history. At that time, bourgeois or merchant houses played a central role in local economic life, often serving as a place of commerce or housing for wealthy families. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the urban and social evolution of Brittany.

The inscription of the façade and roof in 1935 underscores the heritage importance of this building. Available data indicate an approximate location, with an address initially recorded as 3 Rue Émile-Mazé in the Mérimée database, then corrected to 1 Rue Émile-Mazé. This disparity reflects the challenges of historical documentation and the conservation of ancient monuments.
