Cantizac Manor

En un regard

Le château en bref

In Séné, on the shores of the Gulf of Morbihan, Cantizac Manor is closely linked to the water that surrounds it. It is first recorded at the end of the 15th century in the Coëtlagat family, before being acquired by the Visitation nuns of Vannes. The main residence, built on a single storey, is constructed of dressed granite under a slate roof with long slopes ending in an exposed gable; an internal staircase serves the attics. It was enlarged in the 19th century. The estate included several outbuildings typical of the gulf's manorial estates: a 15th-century dovecote, demolished before 1844, an 18th-century well and, above all, an 18th-century tide mill, restored, which used the movement of the tides to grind grain. Listed in the General Inventory of Cultural Heritage, but without protection as a historic monument, the manor is privately owned.
