Private houses and « Maison du Sénéchal »

After admiring the 17th and 18th century privates houses on the Grande Rue, don't miss the Seneschal's House from the 16th century on your right on Rue de la Paix. Formerly associated with an auditorium, seat of the Sénéhaussee of Hennebont, in which justice was administered, the original building was replaced in 1932 by an Art Deco performance hall. Today it houses a puppet theater, the “shell theater”. The Sénéchal's house is one of the four half-timbered structure in Ville-Close to have survived the bombings and fires which destroyed four-fifths of the city on August 7, 1944.
