En un regard
Le château en bref
In Saint-Avé, at the gates of Vannes, Kerozer Castle, also called Château Sainte-Anne, occupies a seigneurial estate attested since the 15th century. The estate belonged to the Le Clérigo family from 1427 to 1515, then to the La Bourdonnaye family until 1753. Under Jean-Baptiste de Kermoysan, a devotional fountain was built in 1766, followed by a dovecote in 1768.
The present appearance results from a major reconstruction carried out in 1895 for the Baroness de l'Épée by the architect Bourdillat, in a style inspired by the 17th century: a main building of dressed stone and granite, pavilions, stair towers topped with conical roofs, a grand Italianate salon and an English-style hall. The Sainte-Anne chapel, with its single nave, the outbuildings and the dovecote complete the ensemble, which was extended eastwards around 1960.
The château houses a retirement home; it is a private property.
