En un regard
Le château en bref
In the commune of Vannes, the manoir du Boizy is a modest seigneurial dwelling dating from the second half of the sixteenth century, mentioned as early as the reformation of the estate in 1513. Its first known owner, Pierre Tillon, a councillor in the Parlement of Brittany, is probably its commissioner. The house, built of granite rendered and roofed with slate, consists of three aligned sections, with a square upper storey and an elevation punctuated by regular bays. A spiral staircase, housed in an external tower, serves the floors according to the usual layout of Renaissance manors in the Vannes area. The manor was extensively remodelled in the twentieth century: its eastern section was rebuilt around 1914 and its western section redone around 1930, so that only certain original features remain legible. Listed in the General Inventory of Cultural Heritage, without protection as a historic monument, it is today a privately owned property.
