At the bend of a medieval alleyway, the Celtic Harp House invites you to slow down and listen. This charming half-timbered building seems to have emerged straight from a Breton tale. Built in 1559 in Lanvollon, it was carefully dismantled in 1934 and then reassembled in Dinan in 1939, piece by piece, to enrich the heritage of the fortified city.
Its architecture is a true gem: the overhanging first floor rests on three granite columns, while the mud walls and wooden beams bear witness to ancient craftsmanship. On two facades, small sculpted and painted figures, dressed in 16th-century costumes, stand guard like witnesses to a vibrant past.
Since 2003, this house has housed the headquarters of the International Celtic Harp Meetings Committee (CRIHC). It is a living space dedicated to the Celtic harp and the musical traditions of the world: exhibitions, workshops, concerts, and a shop stocked with sheet music, CDs, and books... All driven by a sincere passion for music and its legends. harpe-celtique.fr+1.
Entering this porch is a way to rediscover the city in a different way: not only as a city steeped in history, but also as an artistic echo where stone and sound interact. Here, every wooden plank, every sculpted scroll, every vibrant harp string becomes an invitation to hear Brittany in a different way.
