Origin and history

The Toul-an-Golet Manor House, also known as the Toulgonec Manor House, is a typical construction of the small Breton manor houses. Located in Plesidy in the Côtes-d'Armor, it dates from the late 15th or early 16th century. Completely built of granite, it has a modest but characteristic architecture, with two rooms per floor and a turret staircase. Inside, the large coat chimneys and the apparent ceiling with solifs testify to its medieval authenticity.

The manor house was partially classified as historical monuments by order of 28 May 1927. This classification protects its iconic architectural elements, reflecting the heritage importance of this type of construction in the region. Its alternative name, Toulgonec, appears in some official sources, such as the Mérimée base of the Ministry of Culture.

Like many Breton mansions of that time, Toul-an-Golet illustrates the way of life of small noble or wealthy families in the countryside. These homes, often isolated, served as local administrative and social centres. Their sober architecture, adapted to the resources available (here granite), contrasted with the larger castles, while playing a key role in the territorial organization of rural Brittany.

The available sources, including Wikipedia and Monumentum, highlight its precise location: 2 Toul An Golet, 22720 Plesidy, in a geographical setting marked by a variable mapping accuracy according to the databases. No information is provided on its current accessibility (visits, accommodation) or on any identified historic owners.
