Origin and history

The house of the Sabot-Rouge was a house located in Châteaubriant, in the Loire-Atlantique department, in the Pays de la Loire region. Built between the late 15th and 16th centuries, it represented an example of late medieval civil architecture. This type of house, often made of wood or stone, reflected the urban development and the rise of artisanal and commercial activities in the cities of western France at that time.

The house was listed as historic monuments by order of 7 January 1926, thereby recognizing its heritage value. However, it was destroyed after that date, as indicated by available sources. Its location was located at the corner of Rue Pelean and Grande Rue, in the city centre of Châteaubriant. No additional information is available on its specific use or occupants.

The historical monuments of this period in Pays de la Loire often bear witness to the transition between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, marked by economic and social transformations. Castlebriant, fortified city and administrative center, housed several civil and religious buildings reflecting this dynamic. The disappearance of the house of the Sabot-Rouge illustrates the challenges of preserving the heritage in the face of the urban changes of the twentieth century.
