Origin and history

The Tronjoly mansion, whose name means pretty valley, was built in 1534 by Christophe de Kergoët, a member of a former Breton family mentioned in 1256. The property, attested from 1360, passed through successive alliances to the families of Parcevaux (XVIIIth century) and then Penhoat (from 1883). The mansion, marked by the military history of its owners (emigration under the Revolution, participation in the Quiberon expedition in 1795), remains in the Sagasan family today.

The building, begun in 1535 by the east wing, combines flamboyant Gothic elements (windows, pinnacles) and classical elements (gerbières, frontons). In the 17th century, the north and west wing houses (old commons) were added, while an elevated terrace closed the courtyard to the south. The chapel and the chaplain's pavilion date from the 19th century. The mansion illustrates the late persistence of the Gothic style in Brittany, with Italian influences such as the court's monolithic basin.

Ranked a historic monument in 1981 (façades, roofs, stairs, basin, etc.), the manor house is also a place of memory: in 1949, François Hervé's body was repatriated from the Penhoat, who died for France in 1944. The site, still private, appears in Patrice Pellerin's comic book L.

The protection of the mansion extends in 2015 to additional elements (garden, dovecote, calvary, aisles), emphasizing its heritage importance. Its 18th-century furniture and 17th-century panelling testify to its architectural evolution and its role in local history, from the Wars of Religion to the Second World War.
