Château de Kerampoul, Protected manor house in Sarzeau, France
Château de Kerampoul is a rectangular granite manor house in Sarzeau featuring an angle tower with defensive gun ports and characteristic slate roofing of the region. The structure preserves its original form with detailed stonework and window arrangements that reflect its past function as a fortified residence.
The property started as a fortified dwelling that housed multiple noble families across the centuries while maintaining its defensive features. The Francheville family held it initially before it passed through other dynasties and eventually took on its current form.
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 ground floor contains an old fireplace that likely belonged to a former guard room, documenting solid construction methods from earlier times. The attic houses a traditional dovecote showing how noble families arranged self-sufficiency through livestock.
