Manoir de la Cour de Bois-Bréhan

En un regard

Le château en bref

The Manoir de la Cour de Bois-Bréhan is located in the commune of Pluherlin, in the Morbihan department. A former seat of a seigneury held successively by the Mordant, Carné and Le Meignan families, it was built in the 18th century. The main building, rectangular and facing south, is constructed of rendered granite rubble, with one storey above the ground floor, under a slate roof with long slopes and a hip end. The ground floor comprises two rooms separated by a central corridor leading to a masonry staircase with a newel wall, its steps covered with schist slabs; tall brick chimney stacks crown the whole. To the east, a low, aligned outbuilding that communicates with the house contains a schist spiral staircase set half outside the building, a fireplace and a cupboard with schist shelves. The 1840 cadastre shows a walled courtyard, a bread oven, a ruined building and a large enclosed garden with a garden folly. Windows were inserted or enlarged around 1950–1960, and a veranda was added more recently. The manor is privately owned.
