Origin and history

The house at 5 rue du Cochet in Dinan is a monument listed in the inventory of Historical Monuments.

This classification reflects its architectural or historical interest, although details of its origin or initial use are not specified in the available sources.

Dinan, a medieval town in Brittany, has many half-timbered and stone houses dating back to the prosperous periods of the region, often linked to maritime trade or local crafts. This type of building, typical of the historical centre, reflects the urban and social organization of the 16th–15th centuries, where the houses also served as workshops or commercial spaces. The protection of this house is part of a desire to preserve this vernacular heritage, representative of Breton urban history.
