Manoir de Kergoz stands in Guilvinec (Finistère), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Guilvinec, the Kergoz manor is known above all for its 16th century surrounding wall, pierced by a gateway topped with a dovecote. With its corner towers fitted with arrow slits, the structure recalls a noble residence built to withstand coastal raids and, in times of danger, to shelter villagers. The estate once belonged to the Derval family, whose last descendant distinguished himself at the Battle of Quiberon. Now owned by the town, the building has served various purposes over time, from a children's holiday centre to a seniors' club, and its rooms are now rented out for private events.
