Maison 14 rue Kéréon, Quimper, Historical monument in Rue Kéréon, Quimper, France.

Maison 14 rue Kéréon is a tall four-storey corner house built in the 16th century, with a massive ground floor of rough-cut grey stone and upper storeys that each overhang the one below. The two top floors and the west-facing gable are clad in slate, while the half-timbered facade shows white plaster panels and dark timber framing. A hewn stone pillar at the southwest corner carries the first and second floors, and a Renaissance niche on its west side holds a sculpture of the Virgin and Child.

Built in the 16th century as a timber-framed house, it was listed as a Monument historique on 24 July 1957 under reference PA00090351, in the Classé category covering all facades and roofs. It remains in private ownership, with a shop on the ground floor.

The street is named Rue Kéréon in French and Straed ar Gereon in Breton, while the adjoining lane to the west is Rue des Boucheries, Straed ar Gigerien in Breton. The ground floor has long housed a shop, and the carved Renaissance niche with its Virgin and Child on the west side of the corner pillar is the detail to look for.

The house stands in Quimper's old town and is visible from the street at any time. For information about visiting the interior, the Heritage Service office at Hotel de Boisbilly can provide details.

On the west side of the corner stone pillar, the first floor holds a Renaissance niche with a sculpture of the Virgin and Child, easy to miss from street level. The second floor also juts out well beyond the pillar that carries it.
