Timeline

Origin and history

The house located in 13 Place du Marchix in Fougères is a civil building dating from the 15th and 16th centuries. This building, representative of Breton urban architecture of the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance, is distinguished by its facades and roofs, protected by a decree of inscription under the Historical Monuments on 22 March 1930. Its location, in the heart of Fougères, a city marked by its medieval heritage, suggests an ancient role in the commercial or residential life of the city.

The location of this monument, although specified by an exact address (13 Place du Marchix), remains approximate according to the available data, with a cartographic accuracy assessed as "passable". Fougères, the town of Ille-et-Vilaine in Brittany, was at that time an economic and strategic crossroads, where bourgeois or artisanal houses played a central role in social organization and local exchanges. This type of construction reflects the evolution of architectural techniques and lifestyles between the late Middle Ages and the early modern era.

No additional information is available about historic owners, specific uses of the house, or any significant events that would take place there. Sources are limited to architectural and administrative data, without details of its occupation or transformation over the centuries.
