Manoir du Plessix Meen

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Manoir du Plessix Meen, in Pluduno (Côtes-d'Armor), first mentioned in 1251, was built by the Hus family on a rock in the hollow of a small valley. Destroyed by fire before 1620, it was rebuilt by Guy Langlois de Pré-Morvan and his wife Julienne Poulain, whose coats of arms adorn the fireplaces; the estate passed by marriage in 1620 to Jean de Boves, then, in the early 19th century, to the Brouard family (Luc Brouard, mayor in 1808), who added buildings in 1845 and 1858. Arranged around a rectangular courtyard, with the main residence to the south, outbuildings to the west and a dovecote to the east, the estate retains a one-hectare pond held back by a 15th-century dyke and the ruins of a mill from the same period; an old square tower collapsed before 1940. Privately owned, it is now partly run as holiday cottages (gîtes).
