Origin and history
The mansion of the Cosquer de Louannec, located in the commune of Louannec in Brittany, dates from the sixteenth century. This historic monument is distinguished by its richly decorated façade, with lintel windows decorated with accolades, and a door evoking chapel entrances. The crawlers of the gerber are decorated with floral motifs and gargoyles, reflecting the architectural art of the era.
The mansion was associated with a knight of Rhodes, who lived there until his death around 1520. He also served as Commander of Moulins en Bourbonnais, a detail that highlighted the links between this Breton mansion and the military orders of the time. The protection of the monument relates specifically to the facade on the courtyard and its corresponding roof strip, inscribed by decree in 1964.
The information available indicates a precise location in the Côtes-d-Armor (Department 22), with an address recorded in the Merimée database. Although GPS coordinates are mentioned, their accuracy is not explicitly assessed in the sources consulted. The mansion does not seem to be open to visit according to current data, but its status as a historical monument makes it a notable architectural heritage of the region.
