Origin and history

The house at 4 Rue du Fil in Pontivy is an emblematic 15th century building, typical of Breton medieval architecture. It is characterized by its apparent wood sections, a construction technique that was widespread at that time, as well as by the strong projection of its sand and beams on the first floor. These architectural elements, both aesthetic and functional, reflect the know-how of the artisans of the period and the importance attached to the structure of buildings in urban areas.

Classified as a Historic Monument, this house was specifically protected by order of 8 May 1933, covering its facade on street and roof. This official recognition underscores its heritage value and its role in preserving Pontivy's ancient building. The location of this monument, in the historical centre of the city, reinforces its interest in the study of medieval urban planning in Brittany.

Available data, notably from the Merimée database and Monumentum, indicate that the exact address corresponds to the Cadastre BC 503. Although the practical information on its visit or current use is not detailed, its listing as Historic Monuments guarantees its conservation. The accuracy of its location is estimated to be fair, which may reflect the boundaries of old cartographic sources or initial surveys.
