Origin and history

The Pont-Couennec mansion is an emblematic building located in Perros-Guirec, in the Côtes-d'Armor department in Brittany. Built at the end of the 15th century and in the 16th century, it is distinguished by its architecture consisting of a body of rectangular houses and a pavilion accompanied by a turret. This type of construction reflects the evolution of Breton seigneurial residences during the transition period between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

According to historical sources, the mansion was built for Riou de Perros, a local figure from the late 15th century. The chapel, added in 1599 for Amaury Jascob de Kerjegu, was demolished at the end of the 19th century by an owner who reused its materials to build a house. This detail illustrates the frequent transformations and reuses of historic buildings over the centuries.

The dovecote, located north of the mansion, is mentioned as being in perfect condition, making it a remarkable element of the site. The manor house was partially listed as historical monuments by order of 23 February 1990, thus protecting the pavilion, the east wing and the dovecote. This protection underscores its heritage and architectural importance in the region.

The precise location of the mansion at 7 Bis Rue Ernest Renan in Perros-Guirec is documented in official bases like Mérimée. This monument offers a tangible testimony of local history and Breton seigneurial architecture, while being integrated into the contemporary urban landscape.
