Manoir de Kerduel, Manor estate in Lignol, France.
Manoir de Kerduel is a manor estate in Lignol with two residential wings featuring windows with stone frames divided into multiple panes. A cylindrical tower at the rear contains a stone staircase that connects the two sections.
The Kerduel seigneurie had its manor and mill by 1437, when Jean Le Courhin held them from Charles de Rohan, sire de Guémené. Through marriage it passed to Louis d'Outreville in 1589, then to Jean du Pérenno, sénéchal de Guémené, and later to Pierre Le Vicomte in 1689. A first dwelling was built in the 16th century, with a western pavilion added in the 17th; the facades and roofs were inscribed as monuments historiques on 31 January 1989.
The manor displays architectural features from the 16th and 17th centuries visible in its stonework and window designs. These building elements tell the story of the craftsmanship and social standing of those who lived here.
The site sits in a quiet village in northwestern France and is easiest to reach by car. The area has limited public transportation connections, so it is worth checking access routes before visiting.
The manor passed by marriage to Pierre Le Vicomte in 1689, and his son Charles held Kerduel until 1757. Since 1989 it has belonged to François Adda, who began restoring it. The cylindrical tower at the rear holds a stone staircase.
