En un regard
Le château en bref
The motte of Kermain is a medieval earthwork fortification located about three kilometres east of the town of Langonnet, in Morbihan, in a marshy valley floor. According to the data in the record, it is a truncated conical mound about three metres high and forty metres wide, crowned by a flat summit where traces survive of a circular stone structure about seven metres in diameter, possibly a tower. The regional Inventory describes a fortified building of earth and granite, without specifying the profile of the ditches or the existence of a bailey. The structure, probably more residential than military, was abandoned at the end of the 14th century in favour of the manor house built nearby at a later date. The site was studied by the Inventory in 1969 and listed as a monument historique on 28 November 1995. It stands on private land and has no visitor facilities.
