Manor of Vau de Quip

En un regard

Le château en bref

The manor of Vau de Quip, also spelled Vaudequip, stands at Allaire (Morbihan), near a pond on the River Quip. It was built at the end of the 15th century for Guillaume de Bogier, treasurer and keeper of the jewels of Duke Pierre II of Brittany. It then passed to the Quengo family, then to the Kervérien family (1661), Thomas de la Caunelaye (1681), du Bot du Grégo (1768), d'Amphernet de Pontbellanger (1787) and du Fresne de Virel (1827), before being farmed by the Garnier family in the early 20th century and then acquired by the de Kervénoaël family in 1976. The main residential block, with a tower and dormer windows bearing coats of arms, forms, together with the chapel, farm buildings and outbuildings, a walled ensemble with intermediate gardens. The façades and roofs of the main block, the chimneys, the chapel, the farm, the outbuildings, the south terraces and the walls have been listed as historic monuments since 1978.
