Origin and history

The house at 6 rue Haute-Voie in Dinan is a historical monument built in the 14th century. This building, typical of Breton medieval civil architecture, was partially preserved thanks to its inscription as the Historical Monuments in 1961. Protected elements specifically include facades and roofs, reflecting the heritage importance of its original structure.

Dinan, a fortified town of Brittany, was a commercial and strategic crossroads in the Middle Ages. Houses of this time, such as those on Rue Haute-Voie, often served as homes for merchants or artisans, while participating in the passive defense of the city. Their preservation makes it possible today to study the construction techniques and urban way of life of this period.

The registration of this house by order of 4 December 1961 underlines its heritage value. Although the available sources do not specify its exact use throughout the centuries, its current state and location in the historic centre of Dinan make it a silent witness to the urban and architectural evolution of the region.
