To make a day of it
Manoir de Kermadec stands in Pencran (Finistère), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first half of the 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
Built in the early sixteenth century by Pierre Huon de Kermadec in Pencran, Manoir de Kermadec exemplifies the manorial architecture of the Léon region with its L-shaped main building arranged around a courtyard. Once owned by the Saladin family in the Middle Ages, it later passed to the Huon de Kermadec line. Cleared of agricultural outbuildings that once obscured it, the manor retains its original interior layout and sits on a site occupied since Roman times.
