Maison des Archers, Historic house in Quimperlé, France.
The Maison des Archers is a three-story stone building with period window openings, carved details, and structural elements typical of its construction era. The interior layout divides the space into rooms that reflect how a household was organized during that time.
The house was built during the medieval period and later officially recognized as a protected monument in France. Its survival over many centuries makes it a record of how people built and inhabited homes during that distant era.
The building reflects the craftsmanship and construction methods valued during its era through its stonework and room arrangement. The details visible in both the exterior and interior show how people built and lived in this part of Brittany.
The building is easy to spot in central Quimperlé and can be reached on foot while exploring the town. Visitors should check ahead as access may be limited to certain times, and some areas might not be open to the public.
The name refers to a guild of archers who held importance in medieval towns. Names like this often reveal what trades and professions once filled the streets and neighborhoods of old cities.

This collection brings together buildings that demonstrate seven centuries of Breton architecture, from the Middle Ages to the modern era. In Brittany, especially in Finistère and its surroundings, these constructions reflect the evolution of techniques and architectural tastes over time. Romanesque churches like the Priory of Locmaria in Quimper, founded in the 11th century by Benedictine monks, Gothic structures such as the Saint-Corentin Cathedral with its two 75-meter towers are present, as well as Renaissance homes like the Kerazan Manor in Loctudy, which retains its original decor. Local materials, notably granite and slate, characterize these buildings and give them a strong regional identity. Some buildings now house museums, such as the former Episcopal Palace of Quimper, which hosts collections from the Breton Departmental Museum, or Kerazan Manor with its Breton artworks. Other sites combine architecture and gardens, like the Lanniron Castle with its 17th-century French-style gardens or Trévarez Castle surrounded by wooded parks. These sites enable visitors to understand Brittany’s architectural history and offer a journey through the centuries.
