En un regard
Le château en bref
The Inventaire du patrimoine considers Brécéhan Manor to be the oldest manor house still intact in the commune of Saint-Gravé. The site is already mentioned in 1427 as a noble residence belonging to Michel Davy, and then in 1513 as a noble farmstead held by Guillaume Méhaut, canon of Guérande and rector of Assérac, whose coat of arms is carved at the entrance. Around 1536, the estate belonged to the sieur de Bodéan, who may have been responsible for a second building campaign. The present building dates from the first half of the 16th century and results from two closely spaced phases, with an extension to the west. Built in granite according to a false double-depth plan, it has two rooms on each floor, served by a spiral staircase. Basket-handle doorways and dormer windows combine Gothic and Renaissance decoration. The 16th-century chapel retains an Armorican-type timber roof frame. Restored at the end of the 20th century, the manor is now a private residence.
