Château de Kéranroux stands in Morlaix (Finistère), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: second half of the 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
A few kilometres from the centre of Morlaix, the château de Kéranroux stands on an open rise, built in 1773 when François Gabriel de la Fruglaye replaced an older manor he found too damp. The surrounding park, freely accessible, leads to a 16th-century dovecote, the ruins of an earlier chapel and a spring known as the fairies' fountain. A later chapel, raised in the 19th century, holds carved gargoyles and the recumbent effigy of Gilles de la Noé, the work of sculptor Roland Doré.
