Origin and history

This house located at 11 rue du Coignet in Dinan, in the Côtes-d'Armor department, is a monument listed in the inventory of Historic Monuments. Its inscription, dated 4 December 1961, refers specifically to its facades and roofs, remarkable elements of its architecture. Although the details of its precise history are rare, this protection bears witness to its heritage importance in the urban landscape of Dinan, a medieval town of Brittany.

The ancient houses of Dinan, like this one, often reflect the architectural evolution of the region, marked by medieval and Renaissance influences. In a broader historical context, Dinan was a prosperous city thanks to its commercial and strategic role in Brittany. This type of building, though modest, contributes to the collective memory and visual identity of the city, where the traditional building is next to more monumental buildings.

The protection of its facades and roofs underlines the desire to preserve a vernacular heritage representative of the local habitat.
