Origin and history
Kermarker Manor House, located in Ploëzal in Côtes-d'Armor, has its origins since 1280. It was successively owned by influential families such as the Hingant (Geffroy in 1339, Derrian in 1363), then moved to Pommorio and Kercabin by marriage. Reconstructed in 1597 by Jean de Kercabin, adviser to the Parliament of Brittany, he suffered damage during the League's wars, as evidenced by an archival document.
At the beginning of the 18th century, the mansion was transferred to the Gonidec de Tressan by alliance with Marguerite de Kercabin. Already marked by a turbulent history, it was officially listed as historical monuments on December 29, 1927. Its architecture and past reflect the social and political dynamics of medieval and modern Brittany.
The site, now protected, retains traces of its successive transformations, especially those related to the reconstruction of 1597. The Ille-et-Vilaine department archives and the Mérimée base document its evolution, highlighting its heritage importance in the region. Its inscription in 1927 reflects its historical and architectural value, preserved for future generations.
