Le château en bref
Château de Porcaro, in the Morbihan commune of the same name, succeeds a medieval manor house that was the seat of the lords of Porcaro, a family originally named La Porte de Caro and attested as early as the late thirteenth century. Jehan Porcaro is still mentioned in 1480. In the seventeenth century the estate passed to the Guiny family, mentioned in 1628, then to the Sagazan family in 1772. In 1836 it belonged to Viscount Victor de La Haye de Plouër, before being handed down to the Mesnard de Chousy family and then to the Tyrac de Marcellus family. The present building is the result of a complete reconstruction carried out in 1875. It has a rectangular plan, thickened on the left by a large square wing, while a corner turret enlivens the right-hand side. The estate also includes a chapel dedicated to Saint Sébastien, rebuilt between 1830 and 1843. The château has no protection as a historic monument.
