Château de Kergos

En un regard

Le château en bref

Kergos Castle, in Clohars-Fouesnant (Finistère), a short distance from the River Odet and one kilometre north of Bénodet, has been owned by the Kernafflen de Kergos family since 1684. Its façade is entered through a double portal in the Gothic style, flanked by a chapel crowned with a swallow's-nest bartizan and a dome with a bell-tower. The right-hand wing retains pointed dormer windows from the 16th century, while curved dormers decorated with urns date from the reign of Louis XIV. The park, laid out in the 18th century with a pond, a greenhouse and a botanical garden, was reduced in size by the construction of the Pont de Cornouaille.
