Maison dite de la Duchesse Anne

A townhouse dating from the early 16th century

This style, known as ‘Maison à Lanterne’ or Lantern House, is a key architectural emblem of Renaissance Morlaix. The ‘lantern’ actually refers to the inner courtyard which is covered and houses a huge monumental fireplace as well as a spiral staircase in sculpted oak, enabling people to pass between the front and back rooms across three floors.
