Château de Penmarc'h

The manor presents a central residential building with a western wing, featuring a square keep and numerous windows with cruciform mullions on the first floor.

Built around 1540 for the Penmarc'h family, the structure includes an isolated tower from the 15th century and displays the date 1546 at its main entrance.

The Renaissance fireplace in the square room inside the tower reflects the architectural preferences of noble families in 16th century Brittany.

The manor remains a private property, and interior visits are not permitted to the general public since its classification as a historic monument in 1932.

A circular tower crowned with machicolations stands at the property, incorporating defensive elements from medieval military architecture into the residential design.
