Rotileuc Manor

En un regard

Le château en bref

Rotileuc Manor stands in the commune of Guer, in the Morbihan department. The lordship is recorded in 1444 under various spellings, Rotilleuc or Rostileuc. A reformation of 1426 already cites two holdings at Rotileuc, one linked to Bertrand de Couédor and the other to Pierre du Fresne, although their exact relationship to the present manor has not been established. The former building appears on the 1813 cadastre. The current building was rebuilt in the mid-nineteenth century. Its rendered schist walls support a regular elevation of one square storey and an additional upper storey, beneath a slate roof with long pitches and roofed gables, and it contains an internal staircase. A carved decoration depicting a genre scene is the work of Resnais, brother of the builder. The outbuildings include a carriage shed and a bread oven. A local source notes, in a stable, a chimneypiece with columns and capitals said to come from the former manor. The manor is privately owned and is not protected as a historic monument.
