Origin and history
Kerblouz Farm, located in Glomel in the Côtes-d'Armor, is a remarkable example of 17th century Breton rural architecture. Built in 1669, it reflects the construction techniques and spatial organization of farms during this period. Its state of conservation and its protected elements (logis, stables, barns) make it a valuable testimony of Breton agricultural heritage.
The farm was built for Vincent Lelay, a character whose name is associated with its foundation. The facades, roofs and chimneys of the house and outbuildings were protected by a registration order in 1987, highlighting their heritage value. The precise location, although noted as approximate, places the site at the place called 4 Kerblouz, in the municipality of Glomel.
In the historical context of the 17th century, farms like Kerblouz played a central role in the local economy, often linked to agriculture and livestock. Their architecture, adapted to practical needs and available materials, illustrates the rural lifestyle of the period in Brittany. These buildings served not only as housing, but also as a place of work and storage, organizing community life around land use.
