A listed historical monument, 16th-century manor with 6 hectares of grounds, in the sector of Saint-Brieuc, less than 10 minutes from the town of Quintin. The small road leading to the property is lined with relatively well spread-out trees that become denser to almost create a tunnel of foliage, after which the manor, which has been listed as a historical monument since 1967, proudly stands in the middle of a clearing surrounded by dense forest. Opposite, the manor, a vast meadow expands outwards towards the surrounding woodland. The main entrance is especially imposing due to the place’s fortified character in the past. A carriage gate accompanied by an arched pedestrian gate are both made of granite and fitted with wrought-iron railings. They open into the once enclosed courtyard. On either side, the former fortifications include several stone outbuildings: a workshop, a covered area, a log store, a former pigsty and a bread oven. According to the local archives, there was previously a drawbridge that stood astride a dry moat. The manor possesses a rectangular layout, topped by a gabled slate roof. The façade is made of rough-hewn blocks of granite, with ashlar door and window frames. There is also a monumental opening known as “the door of justice” boasting two columns with square capitals. It marked the entrance to the farmyard where yesteryear the lord of the realm exercised his right to administer justice. To the rear, the walls are covered with Virginia creeper that has slowly spread out over the building as time has gone by. The house boasts a panoramic view of the flowery and tree-filled south-facing grounds, tucked away from prying eyes.
