Manoir de Kerazan, Manor house in Loctudy, France.
Manoir de Kerazan is a manor house in southern Brittany housed in an 18th-century stone building that spans two floors with multiple rooms. The interior spaces retain their original 19th-century furnishings and decorative objects arranged as they were during the period of occupation.
The building dates to the 18th century and was later furnished with collections that shaped its character. In 1928, the Institut de France received the manor through a bequest from Joseph-Georges Astor, ensuring its original interior configuration was preserved.
The manor houses a notable collection of Quimper ceramics, including a distinctive ceramic cello crafted by artist Alfred Beau. These objects reflect the tastes of its collectors and the artistic traditions of the Breton region.
The manor opens to visitors from April through September, with guided tours in French showcasing the period furnishings and collection pieces. Planning your visit in advance helps ensure you can join an available tour at your preferred time.
The five-hectare grounds display an English garden design with medieval vegetable plots, fish ponds, and century-old trees surrounding the property. These outdoor spaces extend the experience beyond the interiors and show how estates of that period were organized.
