Château de Kerlarec, Château in Arzano, France

Château de Kerlarec is a two-story stone building in Arzano, Finistère, built in 1840 for Count Charles Victor de Kerouallan. Its long facade has a projecting central bay with a double-arched dormer, symmetrical wings with shuttered and arched windows, and a taller gabled wing at the right end. A low stone terrace runs along the base.

Charles Victor de Kerouallan purchased the estate in 1834 and demolished the existing buildings to construct the current structure between 1834 and 1840. This period marked a wave of castle rebuilding among French landowners seeking modern country residences.

The stained glass windows were made by master glassmaker Jean-Baptiste Anglade, who depicted scenes from the life of Joan of Arc and gave the faces of the Kerouallan family to the figures. The château was enlarged in 1894 by Constance de Kerouallan and her husband Baron Étienne Charles Alfred de Lépinau.

The estate today divides into four separate units, with some sections available as guest lodging. Keep in mind that not all areas of the castle are accessible to visitors, as portions remain private residences.

In the 19th century, the castle served as the center of a 200-hectare agricultural operation producing grains, cider, and animal feed using advanced methods for that era. This farming heritage reveals how wealthy estates functioned as major agricultural enterprises rather than purely residential properties.
