En un regard
Le château en bref
Longueville Manor is located in Locmalo, in the Morbihan department. The seigneury belonged in 1543 to Jacques du Parc, then in 1620 to Gabrielle du Parc, before being acquired in 1651 by the Guémené family. The present building, probably constructed in the first half of the eighteenth century, replaces an older manor house. This noble rural residence presents a regular, symmetrical façade pierced by two doors, carefully laid masonry of granite and rubble stone, and two storeys. A rectangular staircase tower projecting from the rear elevation houses a stone spiral staircase with a central newel, which serves the upper floor through a separate entrance. The fireplaces are of fine quality, notably in the heated room on the north side of the ground floor. The Inventory suggests that the ground floor may have served for agricultural use and the upper floor for lodging a seigneurial officer. In 1967, the upper floor was inhabited while the ground floor was used as a cowshed and storeroom. The former manor, since turned into a farm and then a house, is privately owned.
