Castle Hôtel Lagorce

Monument in Vannes

Hotel Lagorce (also known as "Château de l'Hermine") is located in Vannes, in Morbihan.

The building is integrated into the ramparts of the city, to the south-east of the old centre, and it was built in the 18th century on the old fortress which served as the residence of the Dukes of Brittany from the 14th to the 16th century.

Integrated between two curtain walls, it was first of all a private mansion financed by a certain Lagorce, the town's master caterer, who sold it in 1802 to a merchant from Lorient. Other owners followed one after the other, including Mr. Thareau, an entrepreneur from Vannes who, after having restored and raised it (1854), sold it to the State. The site therefore hosts the General Staff of the artillery school. At that time, the "east" wing underwent alterations to house classrooms. More recently, from 1960 to 1974, the building was chosen as the seat of the Public Treasury, then the municipality bought the site to house a law school. Finally, the hotel became the headquarters of a cultural institute and exhibition halls were set up on the ground floor.

In the spring of 2022, the city of Vannes announced the launch of a vast project to transform the former residence of the Dukes of Brittany into a museum.

Neighboring the gardens of the ramparts, the building is made up of four levels and a facade punctuated by a projecting central body and equipped with a wide terrace dominating the green space it faces. The exterior of the Hôtel Lagorce (or Château de l'Hermine) can punctuate a walk in the center of the city.
