Timeline

Origin and history

The house at 6 Rue du Lycée in Quimper is a typical example of the civil architecture of the Breton Renaissance. Built in the 2nd half of the 16th century, it is distinguished by its wooden panels facade with crepasing on lattis, resting on a base made of cut stone. This type of construction, common in ancient centres, reflects the local craft techniques and urban development of Quimper at that time.

Classified as a Historical Monument by order of 22 May 1956, the protection specifically concerns the street façade and the corresponding roof slope. The building is part of the Breton vernacular heritage, illustrating the mixture between noble materials (stone) and wood tradition, characteristic of medieval cities in transition to modern times. Its location in the historic center of Quimper highlights its role in the urban fabric then.

The available data do not specify its original use or its potential owners, but its architectural style suggests a residential or artisanal destination. The approximate location (4 Ter Rue du Lycée) and the map accuracy considered passable (note 5/10) indicate limitations in the current geographic documentation. No information is provided on its accessibility to the public or on any contemporary reallocation.
