Le château en bref
At the locality of Kermesquel, in Vannes, the manor is a former noble residence built around the middle of the 15th century by the Camsquel family, who owned it from 1426 until the end of the 16th century. In 1513, the reformation of the nobility declared it exempt from time immemorial, that is, noble and exempt from taxation. Originally, this elongated residence of rubble granite, with a square storey beneath a slate roof with long pitches, had two heated rooms on the ground floor, served by a semi-projecting stair turret that has since been destroyed. It retains its entrance door with a pointed arch, surmounted by a moulded armorial niche, as well as medieval fireplaces with chamfered jambs and moulded corbels. In the 18th century, probably after its purchase by François-Anne de la Bourdonnaye, the residence was raised, its openings were altered and it was extended to the south, probably for a more agricultural use. An outbuilding was constructed to the north in the 19th century, and further alterations took place after 1975. Listed in the Inventaire de Bretagne, the manor is privately owned.
