Origin and history

Kernabat Castle is a 17th century estate located in Plouisy, Côtes-d'Armor (Bretagne). It includes a main house body with a wing in return, a chapel, commons, a dovecote, an entrance gate, an e-mail and terraced gardens. Some architectural elements date back to the 16th century, vestige of a first manor house integrated during the reconstruction around 1680-1700 for Claude d'Acigné.

Sold in 1888 to the Kerouartz family, the castle was restored in 1901 by the architect Dussauze, who changed the facade of the chapel and the roofs of the communes. Abandoned since 1912, he was recently redeemed by a religious congregation. The site has been partially listed as historical monuments since 1997, including the castle, communes, dovecote and gardens.

The gardens, attributed to Le Nôtre, and the interior decorations, associated with Le Brun and Mignard, underline the artistic importance of the estate. The protection also covers terraces, mail and walls delineating the whole, reflecting its status as a major Breton architectural heritage.
