Manoir du Diarnelez

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Manoir du Diarnelez is a former seigneurial residence located at the locality of the same name, in the commune of Le Faouët, in Morbihan. The ensemble documented by the regional Inventory comprises a main residential block, a north wing, a corner pavilion and an arcaded gallery. The masonry is of granite, dressed stone and rubble, beneath long-pitched slate roofs with gabled ends and hipped roofs; the main block has one full storey and an external staircase. The north wing bears the date 1702, whereas the gallery is tentatively attributed to the 16th century. According to the record, the estate belonged to the Le Rousseau de Lanvaux family until 1717, then to the marquis René-Théophile de Maupeou, before passing to Jean-Baptiste-Paul Hamon des Roches from 1776 to 1790. The chapel and the dovecote have disappeared, and the arcaded gallery was dismantled and moved to Roscoff, in Finistère, in 1973. The manor is privately owned and is not protected as a monument historique.
