The Manor of Trévilit, built in the 15th century in Plonéour-Lanvern, stands as a rural fortress with thick walls and cross-mullioned windows that reflect the defensive architecture of its period. The main building, connected by a wing to a chapel forming a corner pavilion, is arranged around a courtyard closed on the north side by a defence wall with machicolations. Separate from the complex, a large fortified enclosure testifies to the structures that once sheltered inhabitants and livestock during times of attack. Inside, monumental granite fireplaces carved with floral ornaments enhance the stone dwelling.
