In Quessoy, in the Côtes-d'Armor department, the manor of La Rocherousse stands with its main residence still framed by a readable defensive layout: enclosing walls, towers and wide, now dry moats surround the estate. Several period outbuildings remain around the main house, including a gatehouse, a chapel, a press house and a mill. The complex was built in two phases, from the late 16th to the early 17th century, then altered during the 19th century.
