Manoir de la Giclais

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Manoir de la Giclais is a malouinière in Saint-Malo, built in the second half of the 17th century according to the Mérimée database, more likely towards the end of the century. A typical country residence of Malouin shipowners, it rises between courtyard and garden on a square plan of one storey, a ground floor and an attic, with granite-framed openings, a main block flanked by two short wings on each face, and outbuildings pierced by two vaulted passageways. During the Revolution, the interior served as a horse stable; part of the ground-floor panelling survives, as do panoramic wallpapers from the First Empire on the upper floor. In 1807, the property passed by marriage to Nicolas Surcouf, shipowner and elder brother of Robert Surcouf. The façades and roofs have been listed as Monuments Historiques since 30 March 1976. Privately owned.
