Le château en bref
Kerolin Manor, formerly known as Guerholein and then Kerollin, stood in the commune of Lanvaudan, in the Morbihan department of Brittany. It was the cradle of the Jégado family, and was established around 1350. Jehan Jégado was ennobled in 1447 by Duke Francis I of Brittany, and in the 17th century the estate passed to Guillaume de Bahuno. The main building was a large, almost square structure, roughly twenty-five metres along each side and ten metres high, built of dressed stone and granite rubble and roofed with slate. It was enclosed by a masonry wall about two and a half metres high. A 15th-century chapel completed the estate. From 1890 onwards, the stones of the manor and the chapel were sold, and the chapel was demolished in 1949. What remains are a monumental gateway, the remains of stables with walls and paved stalls, a bread oven, traces of the chapel and a small vaulted building. The existence of an underground gallery, mentioned locally, has not been demonstrated. The site is privately owned.
