En un regard
Le château en bref
Maillé Castle, in Plounévez-Lochrist (Finistère), succeeded a timber fortress on a feudal motte known as the château de Coëtseizploë, whose lord in the 13th century was Alain de Kermavan. Rebuilt in stone around the 14th century at the initiative of Tanguy de Kermavan, it took on its present form with Renaissance elements, including a square pavilion with three superimposed architectural orders (Tuscan, Ionic and Corinthian), thanks to Maurice de Carman and his wife Jeanne de Goulaine; a chapel was built there in 1555. In 1577, the marriage of Claude de Ploësquellec to François de Maillé, lord of Villeromain, brought the estate into the possession of this wealthy family from Touraine. Sold during the Revolution, it became the property of Vice-Admiral Alfred Richard in 1929, who restored it, before passing to Loïc and Isaure Danguy des Déserts in 2017.
