Origin and history

Garrouët Manor House is a building located in the town of Yvignac-la-Tour, in the Côtes-d-Armor department, Brittany. Although its construction period is not specified in available sources, it has been recognized for its partial listing as historic monuments since 1930. This classification specifically concerns the door and window coming from an old chapel, now integrated into its façade, thus demonstrating a remarkable architectural re-use.

The mansion is part of the local historic landscape, typical of the seigneurial or rural buildings of Brittany. These buildings often served as residences for noble or wealthy families, while playing an economic and social role in their immediate environment. Their preservation, like that of the manor house of Garrouët, allows to understand the architectural evolutions and practices of reuse of materials throughout the centuries.

The inscription of the mansion in 1930 reflects a desire to protect significant heritage elements, even if the entire building is not classified. The available sources, including the Mérimée and Monumentum bases, confirm its precise address to Yvignac-la-Tour, as well as its membership in the architectural heritage of the Côtes-d'Armor. However, no additional information on its history, owners or past uses is mentioned in the documents consulted.
