En un regard
Le château en bref
The château de Locguénolé overlooks the Blavet estuary at Kervignac (Morbihan). A noble estate attested in 1427, it belonged to Guyon de Kerguiris before passing to the Baëllec, then the Eudo, and then the de Perrien family. The medieval manor house has disappeared. It was replaced by a manor house in the 18th century, and then by the present château, built in the mid-19th century (after 1837, the date when it does not yet appear on the cadastre). Neoclassical in inspiration, with a symmetrical plan of double depth, it stands between a courtyard to the east and a garden to the west. The façade on the Blavet features polygonal projecting bays in dressed stone and a large balcony. An orangery, outbuildings and stables complete the estate, whose park was laid out by Édouard André. The de La Sablière family, descendants of the Perriens, opened it as a hotel in 1966, and it has been a member of Relais & Châteaux since 1970. Today it is a five-star hotel with restaurants and a spa.
