Château de Kerampuil

Château de Kerampuil is a castle built in the 1760s in Carhaix-Plouguer with a main structure and two wings extending from its sides, showing the balanced design typical of French noble homes from that era. The building was fully renovated between 2020 and 2021 and now contains a conference room with 50 seats and office spaces for regional government services.

Charles-Robert de Saisy, a counselor at the Breton Parliament, built the castle in 1760 as a family home. The estate later became a gathering place for the local area, starting a tradition that continues to this day.

The chapel inside was built in 1840 and holds statues of Saint Agatha and Charles Borromeo, along with an altar from an old Ursuline convent in Carhaix. These religious artworks show how important faith was to the people who called this place home.

The grounds are open to the public and now serve mainly for conferences and administrative work, so visiting is best done during special events or by prior arrangement. It sits in Carhaix-Plouguer, a village in Brittany that is easy to reach by car or bus.

The grounds host the annual Vieilles Charrues music festival, one of the largest music festivals in western France. The festival brings thousands of visitors each year and shows how the estate continues to bring people together just as it did long ago.
