En un regard
Le château en bref
The Château de la Ville Quéno is located in Carentoir, in the Morbihan department, on the territory of the former commune of Quelneuc, merged in 2017. A seigneurial seat attested as early as the 14th century, the estate has remained in the same family since the 16th century. A former manor house is said to have been replaced in 1720 by Jean de Talhouët, then modified in 1780. The present main building was rebuilt in 1890 by the architect Auguste Beignet. Built of schist rubble under slate, it is arranged around a rectangular courtyard surrounded by outbuildings. The main body presents, at the centre of its south façade, a raised central projecting section under a pavilion roof, while the north wings include a polygonal pavilion to the east and a polygonal tower to the west. Privately owned, the château has been listed as a historic monument since 2007.
