Château de Kerampoul, Protected manor house in Sarzeau, France
The Château de Kerampoul is a rectangular granite manor house with a slate roof in the hamlet of Penvins, Sarzeau. Its angle tower, pierced with gun ports, protects the entrance gate. The building is flanked by a garden with climbing ivy and a projecting gabled section.
Built in several phases during the 13th, 15th and 17th centuries, this former farmstead belonged to the Francheville family until the 16th century, then passed to the Cillart family and later to the Gouvello de Keriaval, its present owners. Its facades and roofs were listed as monuments historiques on 24 September 1968, and the estate park became a campsite in 1959.
The building received monument historique status in 1968, recognizing the architectural value of its facades and roofing structures.
The property operates as a campsite with space for tents, caravans, and mobile homes during the warm season. Visitors should plan their visit based on seasonal availability and allow time to explore the grounds around the manor itself.
The manor's park became a campsite in 1959 at the request of the Automobile Club de l'Ouest, which wanted a holiday spot for its members. It was first called "camp de la Madonne" after the nearby chapel, and only took the name "manoir de Ker An Poul" in 2002. The site covers 6.5 hectares with 300 pitches, 100 of them for tents and caravans.
