Origin and history

The manor house of Gollodic, located in the municipality of Lanrivain in Brittany, dates from the sixteenth century. This monument is distinguished by its typical architecture of the period, including a stair turret, a closed courtyard and a gate, the whole having been preserved intact until today. These features make it a remarkable example of the Breton seigneurial residences of the Renaissance, where the balance between defensive and aesthetic function was paramount.

Ranked a Historic Monument, the Gollodic mansion was officially protected by order of 6 April 1972, specifically covering its facades and roofs. This recognition underscores its heritage importance and conservation status, despite its poor geographical location (level 5/10 depending on the source). The site, referred to in the Mérimée base under the code Insee 22115, belongs to the department of Côtes-d.

Practical information on public opening, room rental or accommodation is not specified in the available sources. The mansion nevertheless illustrates the role of seigneurial residences in the social and economic organization of 16th century Brittany, a period marked by the affirmation of local elites and the development of civil architecture. These homes often served as an administrative and symbolic centre for the surrounding lands, reflecting the power and prestige of their owners.
