Origin and history

The house 3 place au Beurre in Quimper is a typical example of 17th century civil architecture, characterized by its wooden panels facade. This type of construction, common in the Breton urban centres of the time, reflects both the local craft techniques and the social organization of the commercial cities. The building is integrated into the ancient fabric of Quimper, a dynamic city thanks to its commercial and artisanal activity, especially related to the earthenware and textiles.

Classified as a Historic Monument by order of 22 May 1956, this house owes its protection to its street façade and to the corresponding roof slope, representative elements of Breton vernacular heritage. The location, in the heart of Quimper (Finistère department), highlights its role in the urban history of the region. The wooden panels, often associated with a torchi or brick filling, illustrate a medieval constructive tradition that lasted through the 17th century, adapted to local resources.
