En un regard
Le château en bref
Kerbourbon Manor, within the territory of Vannes, belongs to the ring of small seigneuries that once surrounded the episcopal city. It is first attested in the middle of the XVIe siècle: in 1556, it belonged to Jean Le Meilleur. The seigneury later passed to the Chedanne family; in 1601, Jeanne Le Goff, widow of Jean Chedanne, rendered an aveu for it to the bishop of Vannes, describing a manor and a noble métairie with slate-roofed houses, a closed courtyard and a garden enclosed by walls. Guillaume Chesdanne held it in 1641. The present buildings are arranged in tiers around a courtyard: the agricultural outbuildings date from the second half of the XVIe siècle, the south range, a two-storey block, from the late XVIIe or early XVIIIe siècle, and the gardener's house, topped with a semicircular pediment, from the middle of the XVIIe siècle. Granite and rubble stone predominate, under slate roofs. A chapel, now demolished, once completed the estate, which was remodelled in the XIXe and XXe siècles and remains privately owned.
