Château de Kerjean

Château de Kerjean is a 16th-century fortified chateau (manor house) located close to the town of Saint-Vougay, in the Finistère department of Brittany, France. Originally built for members of the Barbier family (later titled as Marquis de Kerjean) between the 1540s and 1590s, the chateau was damaged in the 1790s during the French Revolution, and fell into further disrepair during the 19th century. The building was taken into state care in 1911 and restored in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Standing in a 20 hectare park, the house, park and some out-lying structures (including a large dovecote) are open to the public. Less
