Timeline

Origin and history

The house at 16 Place des Cordeliers in Dinan has been listed as a Historic Monument since December 4, 1961. This protection specifically concerns its facades and roofs, as specified in the registration order. The building, located in the historic centre of Dinan (Côtes d'Armor), illustrates Breton civil architecture, although its exact period of construction is not mentioned in the available sources.

Dinan, a medieval fortified town of Brittany, has preserved a remarkable architectural heritage, marked by wooden houses and private hotels from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. This type of house, often intended for wealthy bourgeois or artisans, reflects the economic and social importance of the city at that time. The Place des Cordeliers, where the monument is located, is emblematic of the preserved urban fabric, mixing habitat and commercial or artisanal activities.

Available data indicate an approximate location, with an accuracy considered "passible" (note 5/10). The official address in the Mérimée base corresponds well to the 16 Place des Cordeliers, but GPS coordinates suggest a proximity to the rue de la Lainerie, in the neighbouring district of Léhon. This disparity could be explained by urban changes or historical geolocation errors.
