Château de Trévarez stands in Saint-Goazec (Finistère), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: limite 19th century 20th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Overlooking the Aulne valley at Saint-Goazec, the château de Trévarez was built between 1893 and 1907 for James de Kerjégu, a former diplomat and president of the Finistère general council. Parisian architect Walter-André Destailleurs designed a residence of Kersanton granite and brick, fitted at the time with the most advanced technology, including a lift. Bombed in 1944, the building still bears the marks of that damage, yet visitors can see a Renaissance-inspired grand staircase and a bedroom restored in the Art Nouveau style, decorated in 1903 by the Paris house of Siegfried Bing. The surrounding parkland, spanning dozens of hectares, also includes stables and a notable garden.

The site is a listed historic monument, protecting both the buildings and the gardens and follies within the park.

The grounds, partly laid out in terraces and gardens, require some walking to see the whole estate.
