Manoir et parc de Kerazan

TEMPORARILY CLOSED Built in the 16th century and partially rebuilt in the 18th, the Kerazan manor house stands in Cornouaille. It is one of the oldest seigneuries in the Pays Bigouden. It was bequeathed to the Institut de France in 1928 by Joseph-Georges Astor. A true testament to the art of living in Brittany in the 19th century, the manor house can be visited through its reception rooms, smoking room, library and billiard room. It houses a large collection of Breton-inspired paintings. There are also some exceptional Quimper earthenware pieces, including Alfred Beau's cello, the only one of its kind in the world. Enjoy an artistic experience as you discover a major collection of Breton paintings and furniture, and explore the colourful world of earthenware from the former Porquier factory. Rooms for receptions and seminars can be hired all year round. Treasure hunts are available all year round. Accessibility : Our site is suitable for visitors with disabilities. Virtual visit: www.kerazan.fr/decouvrir Dogs welcome Dogs are allowed in the grounds on a lead and their faeces must be picked up. Small dogs may be allowed in the manor provided they are carried or in a bag.

The five-hectare park, with its century-old trees surrounding the manor house and its former entrance protected and embellished by a dry moat, has retained the appearance it had in the 19th century: its winding paths, vast lawns and shady areas give it the look of an English park and a touch of romance.
