Origin and history

The house at 22 Rue du Chapitre in Rennes is a 16th century building, typical of the civil architecture of this period. It is distinguished by its facade entirely covered with slates, with the exception of carved wooden sandstones, which remain visible. This building escaped the devastating fire of 1720, which affected a large part of the city, making it a rare testimony of reborn urbanism.

Classified as a Historical Monument, this three-storey house was protected by a registration order on July 4, 1942. Its exact address, 22 rue du Chapter (at the corner of rue de la Psalette), is referenced in the Merimée base under the code Insee 35238, confirming its anchoring in the department of Ille-et-Vilaine. The accuracy of its location is estimated as fair, according to the criteria of Monumentum.

No information is available about its current use (visit, rental, accommodation) or its potential historic owners. Sources are limited to Monumentum data and internal archives, without mentioning anecdotes or characters related to its history. The house nevertheless illustrates the preserved architectural heritage of Rennes, despite the destruction suffered by the city in the 18th century.
