The Castle

It was built by Michel-Henry de Méhérenc, Marquis de Saint-Pierre (Born on 15 August 1660 in Saint-Benoît de Paris)

The outbuildings

In earlier days they housed the groom's quarters, the stables, the saddlery and the bakery.

The chapel

Situated in the corner of the enclosed courtyard, symmetrically opposite a pavilion in the same style, as in a large number of seigneurial properties.

It contains statues of Saint-Michel et de Saint-Gouéno, an alter designed by Coraly, and a painting depicting the Assumption of Mary, bearing numerous bayonet marks where it was stabbed by the troops that occupied the castle during the Revolution.

The orangery

In winter, this closed building with large windows, was used to house vegetables grown in tubs or pots, and to protect other plants from the frost.

Ther garden's house

As it's name indicates, this house has always been used by the gardener in charge of the land surrounding the castle.

The dovecote

The dovecote, with its slate roof and lantern, was built in 1701 by de Méhérenc de Saint Pierre family.

The inside of the dovecote, a space designed for pigeons, is divided into nest boxes. Each box houses a pair pigeons.

Its distinctive feature is its central ladder giving access to all the nest boxes.

The wood

The calvary

This typical Breton cross, which was also used as a repository, depicts a pieta. Its base is decorated with the coat of arms of Michel-Henry de Méhérenc de Saint Pierre and of Thérèse Le Chaponnier.

It is situated next to Pléguien church.
