Bergot Manor

En un regard

Le château en bref

Bergot Manor, in Lannilis (Finistère), is a fortified manor house dating from the 15th and 16th centuries, built around an enclosed courtyard, with the main residential building to the north and carriage and pedestrian entrances to the south. The probable cradle of the Bergoet family (Raoul Bergoet is mentioned as early as 1407 in the records of the bishopric), it passed in the 16th century to the Kerouartz family, who made it their junior residence, and became a farm in the 17th century. Owned in the 18th century by the Clairambault family, naval commissioners at Brest and Port-Louis, it was sold as national property during the Revolution, bought back by the Clairambaults, and transferred around 1800 to the Jaffrès family. Patiently restored since the 1960s, first by the ceramicist Monique Léon and then by the present owners, its façade has been awarded the label of the Fondation du patrimoine.
