Château de Kergroadès
Château de Kergroadès, Renaissance manor in Brélès, France
The three-wing granite structure of Kergroadès Castle forms a U-shape layout around a central courtyard with four corner towers and a connecting gallery.
Built between 1602 and 1613, the castle endured abandonment during the French Revolution and underwent substantial restoration work from 1913 to 1914.
The castle hosts regular guided tours, educational activities for children, and botanical workshops in its gardens throughout the year.
Visitors can access the castle grounds, participate in guided tours, and explore both the architectural features and surrounding woodland paths.
The castle design follows the architectural pattern of Château de Kerjean while maintaining distinct features through its austere granite construction.

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.
