Château de Kerlois

En un regard

Le château en bref

Château de Kerlois stands in Pluvigner, in the Morbihan department. Its origins date back to the 15th century: the lordship belonged to Éon de Kernigues, squire to Duke John V of Brittany (mentioned in 1407). The mansion was remodelled in the 17th century and has a façade from that period, with some older elements. In 1607, Olivier Le Gouvello, lord of Keriolet, acquired the lordship; his son Pierre de Keriolet (1602-1660) spent his childhood there, and a private chapel commemorates his conversion. The Marin family owned the estate from 1680 to 1759, followed by the Boutouillic family. Around 1800, Armand Le Bobinnec acquired it, and his descendants still own it. The park, laid out in the French formal style in the 17th century, is renowned for its camellias and a bicentenary Lebanon cedar, and it opens occasionally during the Rendez-vous aux jardins.
