Origin and history

The Maison du Saint-Mitré, located in Dinan in the Côtes-d的Armor, is an emblematic 16th century building. This monument, listed in the inventory of Historical Monuments since 1952, is distinguished by its street façade and roof, protected by ministerial decree. Its architecture reflects the characteristics of the Breton urban houses of the Renaissance, marked by both local and external influences.

Dinan, a medieval fortified town, was at that time an important commercial and administrative crossroads in Brittany. Houses such as the Saint-Mitré were often used as housing for merchants, artisans or local notables. Their stone construction, with careful decorative elements, reflected the social status of their owners and the relative prosperity of the region.

The precise location of the Maison du Saint-Mitré at 1 rue de la Larderie is documented in the Mérimée base. Although available sources do not detail its original use, its listing as Historic Monuments underscores its heritage importance. The Creative Commons license associated with some photographs of the monument facilitates its dissemination and cultural enhancement.
