Origin and history

The house in La Trinité-Porhoët, Brittany, is a historic monument dating from the 16th and 17th centuries. It was distinguished by its construction entirely made of wood, richly carved and molded, with figures of animals. These artistic details were a notable example of the civil architecture of this period in the region.

In the 17th century, the house underwent a major overhaul: the façade of the ground floor was rebuilt in granite, and the window of the first floor was enlarged. These changes reflect an evolution of construction techniques and aesthetic tastes, while maintaining part of the original structure.

In 2001, a demolition permit was granted on 23 July, marking the end of this architectural heritage. The house was then located on Rue Pifosset and Rue Rennaise, in an area whose location is now considered approximate. Owned by the commune, it is no longer visible today, but its history remains documented in the archives of Monumentum.
