Manoir de Kervégan, 15th-century manor estate in Lannion, France
Manoir de Kervégan stands at Kerlaouénan in Servel, part of Lannion since 1961. The present building was raised between 1635 and 1645, then restored in 1815 by owner Vincente Logou, whose inscription "FF PAR VINCENTE LOGOU 1815" remains on a courtyard door. Its walls of irregular grey and brown stone with reddish stone around the openings sit under a steep slate roof with a pale chimney; a well survives on the property.
The seigneurie of Kervégan is documented from 1426, when Guillaume du Tertre held it during the réformation des fouages; earlier lords include Alain du Tertre (1358) and Charlemagne du Tertre (1360). The present building was erected between 1635 and 1645. In 1815 Vincente Logou restored it, leaving the inscription "FF PAR VINCENTE LOGOU 1815" on a courtyard door.
The manor's name appears as Ker Guegant in 1426 and as Kervégant from 1535. The chapel of Saint-Nicodème, probably founded in the late 14th or early 15th century by the Tertre family, stands about 150 metres south-west of the manor. A 19th-century inscription on an inner courtyard door reads "FF PAR VINCENTE LOGOU 1815".
The manor is a private residence and cannot be visited without permission. The entrance door is a listed monument historique since 1964. From public paths near Kerlaouénan, visitors can see the exterior walls, the steep slate roof and the separate stone structure with a rounded base. The site lies in the Léguer valley, about 400 metres north of the river.
Two carved granite stones on the former outbuildings display inscriptions and the coat of arms of the estate's former lords. These stone markers preserve the identity of the family that once inhabited the property.
