Origin and history

The house at 68 rue du Petit-Fort in Dinan is a monument listed in the inventory of Historical Monuments. Classified for its facades and roofs by decree of 4 December 1961, it represents an example of the built heritage of the city, typical of Breton architecture in the Côtes-d'Armor. Its location in the historic centre of Dinan, a preserved medieval city, highlights its integration into an urban fabric marked by centuries of history.

Old houses like this often bear witness to the daily life of the inhabitants of Dinan, a fortified city whose economy was historically based on trade, crafts and sea trade via the Rance. Although the precise details of its occupants or its initial construction are lacking, this type of building was involved in the social and urban structure of Brittany, reflecting the local architectural influences and materials available at the time of its construction. The protection of its external elements (facades and roofs) aims to preserve this collective memory and traditional know-how.
