En un regard
Le château en bref
In Sulniac, east of Vannes, the château de Ferrières should not be confused with its many namesakes, including the famous Rothschild château at Ferrières-en-Brie. It is a residence built in local granite and associated with the Rosmadec family, a major lineage of the Breton nobility. The building, in the Louis XIII style, is distinguished by the quality of its stonework: openings framed in carved granite, an armed pennon, elaborate chimneys, and a west façade decorated with chevrons and acroteria. Collapses in the 19th century left it in poor condition, so that only ruins survive today. These remains have been listed as historic monuments since 16 February 1929, which attests to the early interest taken in this sculpted decoration.
