En un regard
Le château en bref
At Saint-Dolay, on the border between Morbihan and Loire-Atlantique, the Château de Cadouzan brings together buildings from several periods around a courtyard. Two large round towers from the 15th century flank the entrance. Behind them stands a residential wing from the late 16th century, served by a central tower, and a north wing added in the 19th century. A disused domestic chapel and a 15th-century well complete the ensemble.
The lordship was held successively by the Beizit family, mentioned in 1280, the Rogon family in the 16th century, and then the Quelo family in the 17th and 18th centuries. In 1880, Viscount Charles Le Gouvello de La Porte acquired the estate, before selling it in 1897 to Paul de Berthou. In 1944, German officers from the Saint-Nazaire Pocket were billeted there.
Still in the hands of the descendants of the de Berthou family, Cadouzan is a private residence that welcomes guests in its bed and breakfast rooms.
