En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château du Rouvre, located in Saint-Pierre-de-Plesguen (a commune merged into Mesnil-Roc'h in 2019, Ille-et-Vilaine), was rebuilt in 1786–1787 for Saturnin-Hercule du Bourblanc, a magistrate of the Parlement of Brittany. Its elongated H-shaped plan recalls that of Belle-Noë at Dol-de-Bretagne; the lateral wings have Mansard-style roofs, accentuated by pavilions added at the beginning of the 20th century. It is built of granite and rubble stone under slate. A chapel dedicated to Saint Laurent dates from 1660, and maps from the late 18th century show woodland clearings (percements de bois) created to open up vistas.
