Heritage classified

Origin and history

The house in Faou, in the Finistère department in Brittany, is a monument listed in the inventory of Historical Monuments. Although its exact period of construction is not specified in the available sources, its classification shows its heritage importance. The protected elements, i.e. facades and roofs, were officially recognized by a registration order dated 1 March 1951.

This protection applies specifically to cadastral parcels 378 and 379, highlighting their architectural or historical value in the local urban fabric. The Faou, a commune of Finistère identified by the code Insee 29053, is part of a Breton context marked by a rich architectural history. Old houses, such as the one on Rue du Général-de-Gaulle (formerly Rue de la Mairie), often reflect the traditional lifestyles and construction techniques of the region.

In a Brittany where vernacular habitat and half-timbered or stone buildings were common, this type of monument contributes to the preservation of collective memory and built heritage, while offering a material testimony of the urban and social developments of the municipality.
