Origin and history

The house at 9 rue du Lycée in Quimper is a typical example of 17th century civil architecture. It is distinguished by its wooden facade, characteristic of the Breton urban buildings of this period. This type of house, often narrow and high, reflects the spatial constraints of medieval and modern city centres, while integrating decorative elements specific to local craftsmanship.

Classified as a Historic Monument by order of 22 May 1956, this house is part of the protected heritage of Quimper. Only its street façade and the corresponding roof slope are inscribed, highlighting their architectural and historical value. The location of this building in the ancient center of Quimper, a city marked by its medieval past and its commercial role, makes it a witness to the urban transformations of Brittany in the 17th century.

Available data indicate that the accuracy of its location is considered "passable" (note 5/10), which may reflect minor uncertainties about its exact location in the archives. No information is provided on its current use, whether it is a public visit, a private dwelling or another function. The sources mention only its heritage status and its integration into the historic urban fabric of Quimper.
