Origin and history

The house at 20 rue de la Ferronnerie in Dinan is a 13th-century building, typical of Breton medieval civil architecture. It is distinguished by its facades and roofs, protected by a decree of inscription under the title of Historical Monuments on 4 December 1961. This classification specifically covers the cadastral elements referenced under Parcel B 542, highlighting its heritage importance in the historic centre of Dinan.

In the 13th century, Dinan was a fortified town and a major commercial hub in Brittany, under the influence of the Dukes of Brittany. The houses of that time, like the one on Rue de la Ferronnerie, often served as dwellings for artisans or merchants, reflecting the economic prosperity of the city. Their preservation makes it possible today to understand the urban and social organization of the medieval period, marked by narrow alleys and stone or wooden constructions.

The exact address of this monument, "20 rue de la Ferronnerie" (formerly rue du Marchix), is documented in the Merimée base, with an approximate location confirmed by GPS coordinates. Although the accuracy of this location is considered "passable" (note 5/10), it clearly identifies the building in the urban fabric of Dinan. No information is available about its access to the public, its current purpose or any services offered (visits, accommodation).
