Origin and history

The house located in Limerzel, Brittany, is a 17th century building. It is distinguished by its facade adorned with a stone heraldic pennon, a rare and emblematic architectural element of this period. This monument is classified among the Historical Monuments, with a specific protection granted to the carved pennon, attested by a decree of 13 February 1929.

The heraldic pennon was allegedly commanded by Jeanne Catherine de la Piguelais, customs officer of Pinieux between 1619 and 1645. This detail suggests a link between this house and a local noble family, reflecting the social and symbolic importance of the building at the time. The house is located Church Square, in the heart of the village, which strengthens its anchoring in the historical and architectural heritage of Limerzel.

The information available indicates that the location of this monument is approximate, with an accuracy considered fair (note 5/10). Despite this minor geographical uncertainty, the official address registered in the Merimée base is the Church's 2nd place, confirming its integration into the urban fabric of Limerzel. No information is provided on its current accessibility or contemporary uses (visits, accommodation, etc.).
