Kermadec Manor

En un regard

Le château en bref

The manor of Kermadec, in Pencran (Finistère), occupies a site inhabited since the Gallo-Roman period. In the Middle Ages it belonged to Gérard Saladin, whose son Olivier became rector of the University of Paris and then bishop of Nantes in the 14th century, before the estate passed to the Huon de Kermadec family. The present building, dating from the early 16th century, is the work of Pierre Huon de Kermadec and illustrates manorial architecture in the Léon: a rectangular main building overlooking a courtyard that was once enclosed, whose original internal arrangements have been preserved. It has been listed as a Monument historique since 23 December 1992; it is privately owned.
