Originally built as an administrative building for cardinal Jean de Malestroit, construction of the hotel was completed in 1410.[2] The building was owned by several owners throughout its history, however, in 1912 the building was bought by historical society Société polymathique du Morbihan to house a new museum. On September 22, 1914, President of France Raymond Poincaré officially opened the museum's new collections.[3] The building was federally protected by the Minister of Culture in 1913.[4]
