Kerenneur Manor

En un regard

Le château en bref

Kerenneur Manor, in Plourin (Finistère), was built from around 1400, on the initiative of Hamon de Kergadiou, during a period of relative stability; its oldest part (the left-hand section of the south façade) dates from between 1400 and 1450. An extension, between 1540 and 1550, coincides with the marriage of Marie de Kergadiou to François de Kersauson. A classic example of the Breton manor house, it retains a great hall decorated with coats of arms, a storeroom, a kitchen with a bread oven and salting trough, a spiral staircase, a barrel-vaulted room and an octagonal bedchamber; the courtyard features a paved surface designed for drainage. Listed as a monument historique in 1977 for its façades, roof, doorway and spiral staircase, it is opened by its current owners during the European Heritage Days and hosts summer concerts.
