Manoir de Kernault, Manor house in Mellac, France
The Kernault Manor spans 32 hectares of land and features a main residence, timber-framed granary, private chapel, and fish pond within its grounds.
Built around 1470 for Yvon de Lescouët, the manor became a central property of the Kernault lordship, controlling 25 villages in the Mellac parish.
The manor contains architectural elements from different periods, including Gothic features, 17th-century timber framing, and 18th-century carved woodwork in the main hall.
The site offers guided tours, temporary exhibitions, workshops, and activities throughout the year, with access to a shop, café, and meeting facilities.
During the French Revolution, the manor served as a hiding place for refractory priests who refused to pledge allegiance to the civil constitution.
