En un regard
Le château en bref
The manor known as the Château de la Vicomté, in Dinard, occupies a site that is documented from 1513 as "la vicomté de la Motte", possibly the residence of the viscounts of Poudouvre. It passed to the Chauchart families (1541, 1678), then to the lords of Pontual and of Perronnay. The estate originally included a chapel dedicated to Notre-Dame du Bois, a feudal motte, a dovecote, warrens and fisheries on the Rance. At the end of the 19th century, the inspector general Bruzzo acquired the property and laid out woodland and roads on it; the present building was rebuilt around 1896 for the Joyaux family, in the Neo-Gothic style, to a symmetrical U-shaped plan, in granite, rubble and dressed stone under a slate roof, with an external staircase with winding flights. The site now operates as a leisure centre.
