Facades and roofs (cad. 416): inscription by decree of 1 March 1951

Origin and history

This house located in the Faou, in the Finistère, is distinguished by its functional architecture and its history linked to local activities. The ground floor of the court wing originally housed a stable, revealing its mixed use, both domestic and related to trade or breeding. The house has a double access, a rare detail: one overlooking the old Halles Square, a traditional market place, and the other on the old Beast Square, dedicated to the cattle trade. These characteristics suggest its central role in the economic life of the town.

The street façade has undergone modifications over time, but the wooden staircase, a notable architectural element, has been preserved. The facades and roofs of the house were inscribed in the Historical Monuments by order of 1 March 1951, recognizing their heritage value. This protection applies specifically to elements visible from the outside, as indicated in the cadastre (park 416).

The exact address, 2 rue de Rosnoën, places the monument in the heart of the Faou, a town of Finistère marked by its rural and commercial history. Localization accuracy, assessed as "passable" (note 5/10), may reflect the urban transformations experienced by the town in the 20th century. No information is available on any owners or historical persons related to this house or on its current use (visit, accommodation, etc.).
