Château de Kerbastic, Manor house in Guidel, France
Château de Kerbastic is a manor house in Guidel with a U-shaped layout where a central block featuring two square floors is flanked by wings. The structure is completed by a chapel with hipped roofs, showing the classic architecture typical of Breton noble estates.
The property was registered as noble land in 1447, establishing its status during the late medieval period. Following World War II, it underwent complete restoration in the Directoire style under the direction of Prince Louis de Polignac.
The château serves as a venue for music festivals where visitors can experience classical performances in its rooms and halls. This use reflects a longstanding tradition of musical gatherings that has shaped the property over many generations.
The estate sits close to the beaches of Guidel-Plages and Le Pouldu, allowing visitors to combine cultural visits with coastal relaxation. The grounds are easily accessible and work well as a day trip or longer stay.
The gardens were designed by Jean Claude Nicolas Forestier, a landscape architect who shaped French garden design in the 20th century. This collaboration with one of the period's most influential garden designers makes the landscape work here a notable example of French garden artistry.
