Château de Trévarez, Gothic Revival château in Saint-Goazec, France.

The red brick castle rises above the Aulne Valley within an 85-hectare park containing collections of camellias, rhododendrons, and hydrangeas.

James de Kerjégu commissioned architect Walter-André Destailleur to construct this residence between 1893 and 1908, incorporating modern amenities of the Belle Époque period.

The permanent exhibition 'Building a Dream' presents the castle's story through contemporary staging, while temporary art exhibitions occupy the restored stables.

The castle welcomes visitors daily from 1:30 PM to 6:30 PM, with extended summer hours from July to August between 10:00 AM and 6:30 PM.

The castle combines Gothic Revival architecture with Art Nouveau elements, featuring innovative technology from 1900 such as electricity, telephone, and central heating systems.

Historical architecture in France: castles, churches, and manors of Brittany from the 11th to the 19th century

This collection brings together buildings that demonstrate seven centuries of Breton architecture, from the Middle Ages to the modern era. In Brittany, especially in Finistère and its surroundings, these constructions reflect the evolution of techniques and architectural tastes over time. Romanesque churches like the Priory of Locmaria in Quimper, founded in the 11th century by Benedictine monks, Gothic structures such as the Saint-Corentin Cathedral with its two 75-meter towers are present, as well as Renaissance homes like the Kerazan Manor in Loctudy, which retains its original decor. Local materials, notably granite and slate, characterize these buildings and give them a strong regional identity. Some buildings now house museums, such as the former Episcopal Palace of Quimper, which hosts collections from the Breton Departmental Museum, or Kerazan Manor with its Breton artworks. Other sites combine architecture and gardens, like the Lanniron Castle with its 17th-century French-style gardens or Trévarez Castle surrounded by wooded parks. These sites enable visitors to understand Brittany’s architectural history and offer a journey through the centuries.
