En un regard
Le château en bref
At the locality of Les Salines, on a peninsula of the Vannes river, the Manoir des Salines was a noble residence whose name recalls the salt marshes that once lined the Gulf of Morbihan. It is first mentioned in 1526. The 1809 cadastre shows only the main house, to which a second building was added between 1809 and 1844. The 1844 cadastre then reveals two parallel wings around an enclosed courtyard, enclosed gardens and a rectangular basin, possibly a fish pond. The house, built of granite and rubble stone, with a compact square plan of one storey, was served by a corner newel staircase turret topped with a polygonal roof; the second building, of rubble stone, had a gabled roof with long slopes, the whole being roofed in slate. The manor was destroyed in 1926. It is known today only from the cadastral plans and from drawings made around 1920 by Bernard Bègne and Joseph Gousset, which fixed its image shortly before its disappearance. Listed by the Inventaire de Bretagne, the site no longer retains any standing elevation.
