History

Its first construction most probably dates from the beginning of the 15th century and is historically linked to the lordship of Kervégan. It rests, on the one hand, on the manorial house of Kervégan and on the other hand, on a primitive chapel (15th century probably late 14th century, family of the Tertres) known under the name 'Chapel of Saint-Nicodème' approximately 150 metres to the South-West of the manor. An inventory of the 18th century describes it to us as follows: 'Large stained-glass window at the eastern gable high with a coat of arms. Armrest beside the Gospel (bench) a coat of arms in sculpture of the Lord of Boisgelin, lord of Kervégan, parish of Servel. A few relics. Outside, age of a stone with coat of arms engraved semi-engaged of the Lord of Tertre, lord of Kervégan of Servel. Present door coat of arms of the Lord of Kergariou, lord of Kergrist of Coetillio, parish of Ploubezre'. A renovation was carried out at the beginning of the 19th century by Vincente Logou, then owner of the place. Very damaged, the manor was pillaged and deprived of its architectural treasures in the 20th century. One can still note on the old dependencies of the manor still existing on the North-East side, two stones of sculpted granite difficult to read, one is a lintel with a few lines of inscriptions, and the other a blazoning of the old lords of Kervégan.
