Le château en bref
Foveno Manor, formerly Fohenno, lies in the commune of Saint-Congard, in the Morbihan. The seat of a seigneury, it belonged to the Guérin family around 1640. The main residence, built in the 16th or 17th century, is constructed of schist rubble without dressed-stone quoins. It has a square single storey beneath a slate roof with long slopes, a gabled end with a roof overhang (pignon couvert) and a hip (croupe). The main façade has putlog holes below the roofline, and a stair turret at the rear houses a windowless spiral staircase. The eastern half of the residence was rebuilt in the 19th century and later restored. The estate includes outbuildings, and a chapel dedicated to Saint James was attached to it. The 1841 cadastral survey depicts the whole property. The manor is privately owned and has undergone extensive restoration; it is not listed as a monument historique.
