En un regard
Le château en bref
Kernévez is a château of mainly neoclassical style, at the entrance to the town of Saint-Pol-de-Léon (Finistère), in Brittany. The Château de Kernévez was built shortly after 1850 for the de Guébriant family on the site of the château de La Villeneuve. The 37-hectare landscaped park that surrounds it and slopes down to the sea was laid out in the mid-XIXth century by the landscape designer brothers Denis and Eugène Bühler. The choice of Parisian designers reflects the break with the local architectural tradition. The site was listed in 1973, and the park has been listed as a historic monument since 1997, as have the château and its outbuildings (dépendances). Besides a great variety of trees, it features a rose garden, the remains of the chapel of Kerliviry, stables built of granite rubble, a pond, and a dolmen with schist slabs.
