Manoir de Kergouran stands in Mellionnec (Côtes-d'Armor), in the Bretagne region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

The manor of Kergouran stands at the hamlet bearing its name, in the commune of Mellionnec in the Côtes-d'Armor department. Built in the early seventeenth century for the Saint Nouay family, it occupies the site of an earlier manor of which some traces remain, itself likely built on a former feudal motte. The cut-stone dwelling, left unfinished after the founding family died out, still holds a spiral staircase and two carved fireplaces bearing coats of arms that hint at its original ambitions.

What to know

The manor stands at the hamlet of Kergouran, away from the village centre of Mellionnec.
Construction, begun in the early seventeenth century, was never completed, which explains the building's unfinished, asymmetrical layout.
A turning stone staircase serves the upper floor and attic, reflecting the scale of the original design.
The coat of arms visible on one of the interior fireplaces belongs to the Saint Nouay family, thought to have commissioned the house.
