The château de la Houssaye stands in Quessoy, in the Côtes-d'Armor, its main dwelling built around 1750 for Jean-Baptiste Le Vicomte, a president of the Parliament of Brittany. The dovecote, the chapel and the remains of the earlier manor recall that an older building once occupied the site before this mid 18th century reconstruction. The surrounding grounds were redesigned in the early 20th century, with a planted vista, a formal French garden and a kitchen garden.
