The Kermadec manor is located in the town of Pencran, in Finistère, a few kilometers south-east of Landerneau.
Located in the eponymous hamlet of Kermadec, to the north of the town, it was built in the 16th century by the lord of the place, Pierre Huon de Kermadec. Previously, this same site had already been occupied during the Gallo-Roman era and then had belonged in medieval times to Gérard Saladin whose son, Olivier, became rector of the University of Paris, then bishop of Nantes in the 14th century..
The mansion was designed in the tradition of the time, consisting of a square main building overlooking a courtyard that was once closed. Gothic in style, built in schist with windows surrounded by granite from Kersaint, in 1663, it was acquired by Joseph de Kersulguen, whose descendants remained the owners until 1986.
On this date, the manor was bought by Philippe Huon de Kermadec (a kind of return to the origin). A careful restoration was then initiated. Thus, the building was cleared of later agricultural buildings and its garden also renovated. The whole is listed in the Inventory and remains private property. However, the site can mark an interesting walk in this town with a heritage of interest. Information on +33 2 98 85 04 42.
