En un regard
Le château en bref
The Manoir du Val au Houx, in Guégon (Morbihan), stands on the flank of a fairly steep hillside overlooking a valley facing south. Its name is a corruption of "Val au Houlle", after the Houlle family who held it in the 15th century. Three residential wings are aligned at the far end of a large courtyard enclosed by outbuildings and walls. Two date from the 15th century and have retained their original volume and their timber frames; the third dates from the late 16th century, based on the moulding of the window openings. A bread oven, a well and a dovecote complete the ensemble. The residential buildings, outbuildings, bread oven and boundary walls have been listed as Monuments historiques (MH) since 27 February 1996. Privately owned.
