Origin and history
Kerloaguen Manor House is an iconic 16th-century building located in the commune of Plougonven, Brittany. This monument, whose facades and roofs have been inscribed in the Historical Monuments since 1932, reflects the civil architecture of the Breton Renaissance. Its official registration by decree of 10 June 1932 underlines its heritage importance, although the precise details of its construction or its first owners remain absent from the available sources.
The location of the manor in Finistère (Department 29) is attested by its registered address in the Mérimée base: 331 Manoir de Kerloaguen, 29640 Plougonven. Geographical accuracy, noted as "satisfactory" (level 7/10), clearly identifies its location in a Breton rural context. No information is provided on its current use (visit, rental, accommodation), or on any historical characters related to its history.
In the 16th century, Brittany was a region marked by a feudal social organization in transition, where mansions often served as residences for the local nobility or the rising bourgeoisie. These buildings played a central role in the management of surrounding land and agricultural activities, while symbolizing the power and prestige of their owners. The Kerloaguen mansion fits in with this, although the available archives do not specify its exact role in the community of Plougonven.
