Origin and history

The houses located at 20 rue des Capucins in Lannion, in the Côtes-d'Armor department (Bretagne region), are two wood-paned buildings emblematic of 16th century architecture. Their wooden structure, typical of this period, reflects local construction techniques and medieval urban organization.

These houses were partially listed as historical monuments by order of 22 March 1930, specifically covering their facades and roofs. This protection highlights their heritage value, although their precise location has sometimes been subject to approximations (notably with a GPS address indicating 20bis rue Jean Savidan).

Lannion, the historic town of Brittany, was at that time a dynamic economic and artisanal centre. Wood-paned houses, common in medieval cities, served both as homes and as places of commerce for local artisans or merchants. Their preservation allows today to bear witness to this architectural and social past.

Available sources, such as Wikipedia and Monumentum, confirm their historic status and administrative location (Insee 22113 code). No additional information on their owners or their specific use is mentioned in the source texts.
