En un regard
Le château en bref
In Lizio, a small town of character on the edge of the Lanvaux moors, la Ville-Guéhard is a former seigneurial manor built around a courtyard that was once enclosed. It was the seat of a lordship holding the right of middle justice. In 1513 it belonged to the Jouchet family, and around 1575 to the Bégasson family. In 1737 it was the property of M. Grignart de Champsavoy. Some sources date the original manor to the 15th century. The complex, built of granite rubble under slate roofs, comprises to the north a 17th-century residential wing, now partly in ruins, and outbuildings; to the south a gatehouse-porch pierced by a passageway; and to the west a chapel dedicated to the Holy Trinity, whose doorway bears the arms of the lords: a cross surrounded by four crescents. The house currently lived in dates from the 18th century. A dovecote and a well complete the estate, which was restored at the end of the 20th century. Recorded by the Inventaire de Bretagne, it is not protected as a historic monument. It is a private property.
