Origin and history

The Laz mansion, located in Arzano in the Finistère, was built in the early 16th century at the site of a former medieval mansion belonging to the Bizien family, attested to in the area since the 13th century. Also known as the castle of Kerigomarc'h, it bears the coat of arms of Jean Bizien, visible on the entrance door and a key vault of the staircase. The building reflects an ambitious architectural project, partially unfinished, with traces of subsequent changes.

In 1610, the estate, including a farmhouse and a mill, passed by alliance to the family of Laage, whose name evolved in Laz. In the 17th century, minor changes were made, such as the expansion of bays or the addition of partitions. A 1760 stone marked the time when Rosily's family owned it. At the time of the Revolution, the mansion was sold as a national property and purchased in 1812 by Benjamin Brizoal de Guilligomarc'h.

In the 19th century, neogothic panels, the work of the carpenter Pigueller, were installed in the western room. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Guyonvarc The chapel disappeared, but the commons and a well dated 1818 remained. The manor house, inscribed in the Historic Monuments in 2006, retains a vaulted stairwell and remarkable carved decorations.
