Cantizac Manor

En un regard

Le château en bref

Cantizac Manor stands at the locality of Cantizac, in an isolated setting in Séné (Morbihan), near Vannes. Built in the last quarter of the 15th century for the Coëtlagat family, it is an elongated longhouse of granite and dressed stone, with one storey over a ground floor, a slate roof with long pitches, an exposed gable and ruellée verges. A hall under a rafter roof with trusses bearing the rafters, and an internal staircase built within the structure, are its distinguishing features. In the 18th century, the Visitation nuns of Vannes, who had become its owners, remodelled the ground floor, and a well was dug. In the 19th century, outbuildings were added and the living quarters were altered. A 15th-century dovecote, demolished before 1844, a fish pond and a tide mill once completed the estate. Private property.
