Heritage classified
The manor house, i.e. the house in its entirety, the fence walls and the base grounds of the courtyard and the garden (excluding the outbuilding located in the courtyard) (Box B 519, 1411): inscription by order of 3 October 2014
Origin and history
The Grand Palud Manor House is a medieval building located in La Forest-Landerneau, Finistère department, Brittany. Built in the 15th century, this large house has undergone major transformations over the centuries, losing some of its dependencies to industrial establishments. Despite its austere appearance, it retains notable architectural features, such as a large elevation and an entrance door integrated into a tower, as well as a quality frame.
Inside, a room houses beams decorated with traces of polychromy, including phylacteries and inscriptions, rare testimonies of medieval decoration. The manor house, partially dismembered, has seen its landscape environment radically changed, but its general structure and interior distribution remain well preserved. These elements make it a significant example of the Breton seigneurial architecture of the late Middle Ages.
Partially classified as historic monuments since 3 October 2014, the Grand Palud mansion is protected for its home, its fence walls, as well as the courtyard and garden grounds. This inscription aims to preserve the remains of a heritage threatened by industrial and urban transformation. The protected elements, however, exclude an addiction located in the courtyard, reflecting the compromises between conservation and modern adaptation.
