Manoir du Moros, Medieval manor in Concarneau, France
Manoir du Moros is a medieval manor house comprising two connected buildings arranged around a central courtyard with a stone well. The L-shaped layout creates an enclosed space with thick stone walls typical of late medieval fortified residences in Brittany.
Built in 1477 for Concarneau's harbor captains, the manor served to monitor port activities and controlled strategic access to the town. By 1830, the estate expanded significantly to become a substantial rural property spanning across the surrounding landscape.
Architect Joseph Bigot modified the manor's tower by adding buttresses, canopies, and balconies that define its current architectural appearance.
The property sits roughly one kilometer from Concarneau's town center and nearby beaches, making it easy to reach by foot or car. Access routes can be narrow or winding, so allowing extra time for navigation is helpful when planning a visit.
The estate includes two historic mills named Grand Moros and Petit Moros that once processed grain for the surrounding countryside. A park descends from the manor grounds toward the river of the same name, connecting the property to the water landscape.
