Château de Kéranno stands in Grâces (Côtes-d'Armor), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 17th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
In Grâces, in the Côtes-d'Armor region, the Château de Kéranno consists of two wings set at a right angle, built in the second half of the 17th century on the site of an earlier residence. The regular bays, granite string courses and five dormer windows with curved pediments give the building a restrained, classical character. The site is linked to the memory of King James II of England, who stayed there in 1691 after being driven from his throne.
