HOUSE CALLED DUCHESS ANNE'S HOUSE
This mansion is a fine example of a "lantern" house.
This mansion is a fine example of the so-called "lantern house". The name derives from the architectural principle emblematic of Morlaix residences, all of which share common features, including the famous lantern, a covered inner courtyard providing a pleasant light well, housing an imposing fireplace and a magnificent carved wooden staircase leading to the upper floors. Built around 1530, the Maison dite de la duchesse Anne (Duchess Anne's House) bears witness to the prosperity of Morlaix at the time, and will delight heritage and history enthusiasts.
