Origin and history

The Manor House of Crec'h Guégan is a building from the 4th quarter of the 17th century, located in the commune of Perros-Guirec, in the Côtes-d'Armor department (Bretagne region). This rectangular building, flanked by a tower to the north, is distinguished by a balanced anterior façade, reflecting a French stylistic influence. It is mentioned for the first time in an admission of 1699 as the house of La Fontaine, property of the Sieur de Crec'h Guégan, including its outbuildings.

In 1981, the mansion was acquired by a German lawyer, who undertook a complete restoration of the building. This intervention preserves its original architectural features, while adapting it to contemporary uses. The monument has been partially protected as historical monuments since 14 March 1990, specifically covering its facades and roofs.

Historical sources, including the archives of the Mérimée base (Ministry of Culture) and specialized works such as Manoirs: A History in Brittany (2021), underline its heritage importance. The mansion illustrates the evolution of Breton noble habitat at the end of the 17th century, mixing local traditions and external stylistic contributions. Its present state, after restoration, makes it a rare testimony of this period in the region.
