Château de Kerjean, Renaissance castle in Saint-Vougay, France.
The Château de Kerjean extends over 20 hectares of natural grounds, featuring thick defensive walls and 25 rooms open to visitors.
Construction began in 1542 for the Barbier family, who later became Marquis de Kerjean until the French Revolution led to confiscation and damage.
The castle incorporates French and regional architectural elements, displaying refined details in its entrance portal, chapel, kitchen, and regional furniture collection.
Five multimedia rooms at the entrance provide interactive presentations about the castle's history, with an 8-minute film introducing its five centuries of existence.
The fortress walls measure over 10 meters in thickness, demonstrating extraordinary defensive capabilities for a Renaissance-period residence.
