Manoir de Keroual, 16th-century manor house in Guilers, France.
Manoir de Keroual is a 16th-century manor house in Guilers featuring a round tower, two entrance pavilions, and a dovecote situated at the garden's edge near fortified walls. The property is set within wooded grounds that provide a secluded setting for the main residence.
The manor was built in the 16th century and underwent alterations during the 17th century. A fire in 1944 caused significant damage, with portions of the structure remaining unroofed.
The manor serves as a cultural hub and hosts the annual Astropolis electronic music festival, which has brought contemporary music to these historic grounds for over two decades. Visitors experience live performances and artistic events within the old rooms and grounds.
The manor is accessible via paths through the Keroual woods located in the Brest-Guilers area. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear as the wooded terrain can be uneven, especially after rain.
The manor's grand hall once featured a painted ceiling depicting the mythological scene of Andromeda, signed by the artist Dubois. This 17th-century artistic work remains documented in regional archives.
