Origin and history
The house in Fougères, Brittany, is a 17th century historical monument. It is distinguished by its façade, classified by ministerial decree on 17 April 1931, making it a protected example of the civil architecture of this period. Its exact address, 4 rue de Lusignan (formerly Nançon), places this building in the historic heart of the city, although the accuracy of its current location is considered mediocre (note of 5/10).
Fougères, fortified town of Ille-et-Vilaine, was in the 17th century an economic and strategic crossroads in Brittany. The houses of that time often reflected the prosperity of local merchants or notables, integrating typical stylistic elements such as carved stone facades or sill windows. This type of building participated in urban and social structure, marking the landscape by its status as bourgeois or artisanal property.
Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum database, confirm its listing as Historical Monuments, but do not provide details of its original use, its owners, or any subsequent transformations. The absence of information about its openness to the public or its current vocation (visit, rental, etc.) limits the knowledge of its contemporary role.
