Maison de la duchesse Anne

The half-timbered structure features a covered inner courtyard reaching 16 meters in height and contains a spiral staircase supported by an 11-meter tall column.

Built between 1520 and 1530, the house received its designation as a historical monument on May 28, 1883, marking its importance in French architectural heritage.

Ten carved figures, including four saints and six secular characters, decorate the facade, representing the artistic expressions of Renaissance period craftsmanship.

Located at 33 rue du Mur in the historic district of Morlaix, the house offers guided tours that explain the architectural elements and construction techniques.

The central support column of the spiral staircase was crafted from a single tree trunk and displays intricate carvings of figures, foliage, and wildlife.
