Origin and history

Coat-Nevenez Manor House is a 17th-century building located in the commune of Pommerit-Jaudy, in the Côtes-d'Armor department, Brittany. This monument is distinguished by its square architecture, with two buildings, one of which features an entrance door decorated with two columns surmounted by a pediment, as well as two gable stone windows. Inside, a large granite fireplace, supported by massive consoles, and a stone staircase leading up to the floor testify to its historical and architectural character.

During the Second World War, the mansion suffered a fire from German troops, marking a tragic episode of its history. Despite this event, some remarkable elements, such as the entrance door, the skylights and the carved lintel, were preserved and protected. These parts of the mansion were also listed as historic monuments by an order of 24 April 1926, highlighting their heritage value.

Today, the Coat-Nevenez mansion remains an architectural testimony of the seventeenth century in Brittany. Though partially damaged by history, it retains characteristic details of the era, such as its granite fireplace and stone staircase. These elements, combined with its square structure, make it a notable example of the local heritage, reflecting both the art of living of the Breton nobility and the vicissitudes of modern conflicts.
