The Manoir de la Forêt at Kerfeunten was a sixteenth-century residence in Cornouaille, distinguished by mullioned windows and flamboyant Gothic decoration. Though demolished, its carved elements remain and attest to the architectural wealth of Breton manor houses of that period. The main facade displayed refined ornament in which ogival arches, crockets, fleurons and pinnacles framed a monumental doorway.
