Origin and history

The 16th century house, located on the Grand Place de Pontrieux (Côtes-d'Armor), is an emblematic example of Breton Renaissance civil architecture. Built in wooden panels, it is distinguished by its successive corbellations, its carved sandstones and its slate coating, characteristic of the constructive techniques of the time. This monument illustrates local craftsmanship and the evolution of urban dwellings in the 16th century.

The façade of this house was partially classified as Historic Monument by order of 24 March 1926, thus recognizing its heritage value. Architectural details, such as consoles that support slate water slate corbels and referrals, show a particular focus on both aesthetics and functionality. This building offers a valuable overview of urban life in Brittany during the Renaissance.

Located in 22 Place Yves-Le-Trocquer (formerly Grande Place), this house belongs to the commune of Pontrieux. Its state of conservation and designation as historic monuments make it a point of interest in the study of traditional Breton habitat. Available sources (Wikipedia, Monumentum, Merimée base) confirm its importance in local and regional heritage.
