Heritage classified

Origin and history

The house at 27 rue de l'Horloge in Dinan, Brittany is a historical monument whose facades and roofs were classified by ministerial decree on 4 December 1961. This classification reflects its heritage importance, although the available archives do not specify its date of construction or its original use. The exact address, confirmed by the Merimée base, also includes a reference to the old street name, highlighting its anchor in the urban history of Dinan.

In the Breton context of the 20th century, ancient houses like this often reflect the architectural and social evolution of medieval cities. Dinan, a fortified town with paved streets, has preserved many buildings bearing witness to its commercial and artisanal past. This type of building, protected for its external elements, illustrates the efforts to preserve the built heritage in the face of urban transformation.

The present data do not allow to trace its detailed history, but its ranking in 1961 marks an official recognition of its historical and aesthetic value.
