En un regard
Le château en bref
Château de Bodéan, in Saint-Jacut-les-Pins, is a neo-Gothic residence built around 1860 (third quarter of the nineteenth century) on a hill overlooking the site of a former manor house and seat of a seigneurie. The Inventaire de Bretagne (file IA56005553, survey of 2004 by Elise Lauranceau) describes a compact plan with a basement, a main floor and an attic, orderly elevations, a slate roof with long pitches and a polygonal spire, and an external straight staircase. The walls are of rubble stone with rendering. Two architect attributions appear in the file without being reconciled: Aristide Tourneux (probable, based on stylistic analysis) and Jacques Mellet, an architect from Rennes. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the estate belonged to M. de Coutances, mayor of the commune. A postcard by Alphonse David (late nineteenth – early twentieth century) is held at the Archives départementales d'Ille-et-Vilaine. The park, outbuildings and pond have not been studied; the property is privately owned.
