Château de Kerivon stands in Buhulien (Côtes-d'Armor), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 18th century, 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Kerivon Castle, built in the 18th century by the Carcaradec family to replace a medieval manor, illustrates the changing tastes of the aristocracy between the 18th and 19th centuries. The site brings together a classically styled residence with a 19th-century landscaped park organized around ponds, planted avenues, and numerous service buildings that survive to the present day. From the dovecote to the great stable, from the bread oven to the ice house, the complex provides a complete picture of a rural estate of considerable standing.

What to know

The castle has been listed as a historic monument since 1946, with its outbuildings and park protected as of 1992.
Five ponds that shape the grounds (the watering pond, meadow pond, pike hole, rose pond, and great pond) are integral parts of the protected site.
An equestrian bronze statue created in 1914 by sculptor Geoffroy de Ruillé stands in the stable courtyard.
The park contains original 18th-century service buildings (dovecote, stables, farmyard) preserved alongside 19th-century additions (ice house, greenhouse, boathouse).
