Château de Kerandraon

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Château de Kerandraon stands apart, at the locality of Kerandraon, in Guiscriff, in the Morbihan department. The name of the place is old: Bertrand Guégan, sieur de Kerandraon, appears on the muster roll of 1562. The present house was built in 1853–1854 for M. Harrington, to designs by the architect Joseph Bigot. Around 1890, the roof and windows were renovated for Paul Roussin, son-in-law of the first owner. It is an example of neoclassicism prolonged into the nineteenth century: a rectangular central block flanked by two lower wings with flat roofs, and a five-bay façade beneath an arched pediment. The rendered rubblestone is enhanced with dressed stone, and the sculpted decoration bears the family's coat of arms. The estate later belonged to Count Guy de Saint-Pierre.
