Postcard with the Maison Cardinal (around 1920)

The Maison Cardinal in Saint-Renan , a French commune in the Finistère department in north-west Brittany , was built in the 16th century. The half-timbered house is on the corner of Rue de l'Église and Impasse Notre-Dame. In 1932, the residential and commercial building was added to the list of architectural monuments in France as Monument historique .

The two upper floors protrude, as does the semicircular roof, which is covered with rectangular granite slabs. The facade on the ground floor was built in the 19th and 20th centuries. Changed several times, the upper floors still have their window row with four windows each. The half-timbered structure only has cross shapes as ornament. Only the protruding longitudinal beams are provided with a geometric pattern.
