About the location

Hôtel de Limur

31 rue Thiers, 56000 Vannes

Morbihan
Bretagne

Built in the 1680s for Canon Raymond Le Doux, the Hôtel de Limur does not bear the name of its sponsor but that of one of its owners of the 19th century, Charles de Limur whose family lived there until 1947\. Built in the backyard, the rectangular-plan hotel consists of a main building lined in depth to accommodate an exceptional monumental stone staircase, and a wing back to the southwest. The limestone floor strips highlight the elevation at four levels. The facade has five regularly spaced bays; the windows for some adorned with mascarons at the level of the lintels gradually diminish as the floors, according to the uses in force in the 17th century. There is no record in the archives of the architect’s name; however, the existing documentation makes it possible to date approximately the end of the works in 1687\. Listed as a historic monument in 1993, the building has benefited from extensive restoration and rehabilitation work over the past ten years.
