Origin and history

The balcony house near the Trieux is a typical 17th century building, located at 17 rue Saint-Yves in Pontrieux, in the Côtes-d'Armor department. This mechanical granite building is distinguished by its frames with openings on the first floor and balconies decorated with forged irons, placed on slightly advanced stones. Three dots adorn the facade, while a large balcony runs along the river side, where moellons fill the hazes and lights. The roof, extended by a roof failure, adds to its unique architectural character.

The house was partially listed as historical monuments by order of 14 April 1965, specifically protecting its facades and roofs. This ranking underlines its heritage importance in the Brittany region, where it bears witness to the traditional civil architecture in granite. Its location near the Trieux, a coastal river, strengthens its anchor in the historical and cultural landscape of Pontrieux.

Available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, confirm its status as a historical monument and describe its distinctive architectural elements. The accuracy of its location is considered satisfactory, and its official address (17 rue Saint-Yves) is referenced in the Mérimée base. No information is available on its current accessibility or on a possible tourist destination.
