Full Description
In Ille-et-Vilaine, on nearly two hectares with outbuildings, a 17th century castle listed as Mh to be restored. From the public road on the north side, a gate framed by two stone pillars opens into the central axis of the castle. The driveway leads to the main building, flanked by its two wings. One of them is also connected to a dwelling house set at right angles. On the south side, a terrace and a sunken garden extend over nearly one hectare, part of which is planted with 1200 blueberry trees. The complex also includes an old carriage house.
Built in the 17th century. On the foundations of a manor house mentioned at the beginning of the 15th century, then remodelled until the 19th century. Due to its successive occupants, the castle stands in a slightly dominant position facing the valley on the south side. The schist stone façade contrasts with the white dressed stone window frames. The building is composed of a central body raised on three levels under the attic and cellars, extended to the east and west by side wings of two levels under the eaves. The central body has a gabled slate roof, decorated with groynes and a clock, pierced by seven dormers with circular or triangular pediments placed in the eaves. Two pavilion roofs with coyaux are located at its ends. The side wings, raised by two levels under the eaves, are covered in the same way.
