Kervéatoux Castle

En un regard

Le château en bref

Built on a site first occupied at the end of the 13th century by one of the manor houses of Hervé Touronce, Viscount of Léon, Kervéatoux Castle evolved from a typical Breton manor into a Renaissance-style building in the 17th century, before being substantially remodelled at the end of the 19th century under the impetus of Stanislas Russel de Bedford (who acquired it in 1845), whose plans were drawn up by his daughter Amicie and her husband Angelo de Taisne. During the Second World War, the Germans fortified the estate while the de Taisne family continued to live there; American forces later occupied it during the siege of Brest.
