Origin and history

The house, located on Rue de Kerven in Bieuzy, Brittany, is a building from the 3rd quarter of the 17th century, partially listed as Historic Monuments since 1935. The main house, made of cut stone, is distinguished by its structural staircase, its long-paned roof and its skylights decorated with carved heads, probably those of the owners (including Patern Le Mouel ?). The façade, dated 1656, has a blank niche, a door in the middle of the hanger framed with pilasters, and a triangular pediment carved with a human figure emerging from a disc. A stone well, with a cylindrical margin and carved pillars, completes the whole.

The lateral body, without a floor, served as a stable and stable, mixing stone and stone. A secondary house, covered with a similar roof, includes a cellar with a large opening in full hanger. The adjacent farm, built in 1826 for Patern Le Mouel, reuses a door to the castle of Rimaison, acquired during revolutionary sales. A fire around 1920 partially damaged the whole, resulting in the replacement of the stubble roof with slates. The hypothesis of an ancient presbytery is mentioned, though not confirmed.

The protected elements include the façade of 1656 and its well, inscribed by order of 29 March 1935. The sculptures, such as the heads in the cartridges or the character in action on the pillar, bear witness to local craftsmanship. The gate of the castle of Rimaison, integrated into the farm, illustrates the re-use of noble elements after the Revolution. The current location, 7 Rue de Kerven, corresponds to the town of Pluméliau-Bieuzy (Morbihan), although the historic address mentions Bieuzy.

The architecture combines classic features (symmetry, pilasters) and regional details (pediment lights, carved patterns). The pristine niche and mascaron above the door point to a religious and decorative dimension. The well winch, surmounted by figurative pillars, suggests a practical and symbolic use. The whole reflects the evolution of a rural property in Brittany, marked by additions and transformations over centuries.
