Le château en bref
Kergeorget Castle stands in Sarzeau, on the Rhuys peninsula, in the Morbihan department. Built around 1860 for the de Francheville family, possibly by the architect Jacques Mellet, it is in the neo-Renaissance style. Its ordered elevation comprises a basement, a square first floor and an attic storey; the walls, of rendered granite rubble, are enhanced with limestone surrounds, dormers and balconies, beneath slate roofs. Two towers with conical roofs flank the front façade, and an external spiral staircase serves the levels; the eastern tower bears the coat of arms of the Francheville family, the western tower that of the Picot de Plédran family. The château was restored in 1992, with the addition of a conservatory and a terrace and the reuse of a 17th-century chimneypiece. A farm, a barn and a well complete the estate, which remains privately owned.
