What makes the Sixt manor worthy of protection?

Its schist fireplaces, carved with exceptional decorative reliefs and signed by Julian Robin around 1571, are the reason for its classification as a historic monument.

Does the manor really date from the Renaissance?

The visible structure is primarily from 1571, though masonry elements of an earlier building from the late 14th century remain incorporated in the walls.

Has the manor changed in appearance since its rebuilding?

Yes: the 18th century brought interior modifications, and the 20th century saw significant external alterations, including the removal of one wing and the addition of a tower between 1910 and 1944.

Manoir de la Cour de Sixt stands in Sixt-sur-Aff (Ille-et-Vilaine), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: third quarter of the 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The Manoir de la Cour de Sixt is a building whose present structure dates to the third quarter of the 16th century, when it was substantially rebuilt in 1571. Archaeological evidence shows that an earlier building occupied the site from the late 14th century. The manor underwent several phases of alteration: interior fittings including woodwork in the 18th century, and modifications to its external form in the 20th century. Its principal distinction lies in a series of schist fireplaces adorned with richly sculpted decoration, attributed to the mason Julian Robin.

The manor is protected specifically for its fireplaces: five of them, distributed across the ground floor and upper levels, have been under statutory protection since 2000.
Substantial changes were made between 1910 and 1944, including the removal of the south wing and the addition of a tower.
