Origin and history
Kérurien Manor is an emblematic 16th-century building located in the municipality of Graces, in the Côtes-d'Armor department of Brittany. This monument, which has been partially listed as a historical monument since 1964, is distinguished by its portal, the only element protected by the decree of 31 January 1964. Its architecture reflects the characteristics of the Breton seigneurial residences of the Renaissance, although the available sources do not specify its sponsor or its exact original use.
At the time of its construction, 16th century Brittany was marked by a transition between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, with a local nobility that erected manor houses as symbols of power and prosperity. These residences, often surrounded by agricultural land, play a central role in the social and economic organization of the countryside. Kérurien's mansion is in this context, although the archives do not detail its specific history or the families who occupied it.
Its classified portal, however, suggests a particular architectural or symbolic importance.
