Trégranteur Castle is located in the town of Guégon, in Morbihan, a few kilometers south of Josselin.
Located in the eponymous hamlet of Tréganteur, to the south of the town, the site is the seat of a seigniory mentioned from the 12th century. The land passes by marriage from the family of Trégarantec to that of Quelen in the 16th century, then to the Bonin de Courroy.
It was in 1750 that Jean-René Bonin, adviser to the Parliament of Brittany, had the current castle built, according to plans designed by the architect Hippolyte de Brilhac. The park was refurbished at the same time, closed by a gate which is endowed with a grid that turns out to be a true masterpiece of ironwork.
Having become the property of the Halgouët family, the chateau was slightly remodeled in the 19th century. The moats were thus filled in, and outbuildings demolished, including a dovecote.
Today, listed in the Inventory, the castle has retained its neo-classical Louis XIV style, although it was already somewhat out of fashion when it was built. It has three levels (including the second floor under the mansard roof topped with slate-covered roofs) with a central body and two wings with projecting pavilions. Finally, we note that access is via a double-revolution staircase. Inside, period Louis XV decorations have been preserved.
The property, which is still private, is only occasionally open to the public (outsiders only). In any season, this noble domain can punctuate a pleasant walk in a bucolic setting. Inquire on +33 2 97 22 20 64.
