Origin and history

The house in Quimper, Finistère, is a typical example of 18th-century civil architecture in Brittany. Built in wooden panels with a filling, it reflects the local construction techniques of the time, adapted to the resources available and the needs of the inhabitants. This type of house, common in Breton cities, often served as a dwelling for artisans or merchants, thus participating in the economic and social life of the city.

Classified as a Historic Monument, this house saw its facade on street and its corresponding roof cover protected by a registration order in 1956. This official recognition underlines its heritage interest, in particular for its state of conservation and its representativeness of the urban habitat Breton of the eighteenth century. Its location, between the Place au Beurre and the street Ar-Barz-Kadiou, makes it a witness to the historical urbanism of Quimper, a city marked by its medieval past and its subsequent development.

The information available indicates that the location of this monument is approximate, with an accuracy considered fair (note 5/10). This can be explained by successive urban developments or by inaccuracies in historical surveys. Despite this, its official address, registered in the Mérimée base, allows to locate it in the city centre of Quimper, an area rich in architectural heritage.
