En un regard
Le château en bref
The Manoir de Bourouguel, in Plouigneau (Finistère), was built in the 14th century by the Bourouguel family, of the maison du Ponthou, before passing successively to the Le Rouge, de Tromelin and de Penmarc'h families. Its fortifications were destroyed during a siege in 1589, during the Wars of Religion; the building was rebuilt in the early 17th century by Anne de Sanzay, who died there between 1620 and 1630. Sold in 1688 to Jean de la Porte, it passed in 1779, through the marriage of Marie-Jeanne-Claudine de la Porte to Jean-Mathurin Le Bahezre, to the Bahezre de Lanlay family. It consists of two wings set at right angles around a courtyard, with a square tower at the corner and a double-arched entrance. The courtyard retains a carved basin and a well with a slate pavilion roof, alongside a 16th-century Chapelle Saint-Nicolas that has been restored but is no longer in use.
