Origin and history
Coatgouray Manor House is located in the Côtes-d'Armor (Bretagne) on the site of an ancient medieval strong house overlooking the Judy River. This site retains archaeological remains attesting to its defensive origin, while the current home, built between the 14th and 15th centuries, underwent modifications until the beginning of the 20th century. Its original provisions remain legible, accompanied by ornamental details characteristic of the era.
The mansion consists of a house-porch, outbuildings and a dovecote from the 16th-17th centuries, typical of Breton architecture. These elements, as well as the walls, floors and remains of the gardens and the fortified house, have been protected since 2019 as historical monuments. The dovecote, particularly remarkable, illustrates the seigneurial practices of the modern era.
Listed by decree of 19 September 2019, the Coatgouray mansion bears witness to the evolution of noble habitats in Brittany, between medieval defensive function and modern times residence. The remains of the strong house, combined with the subsequent transformations of the house, offer a representative example of the Breton manorial heritage, marked by successive adaptations to the needs and tastes of its occupants.
