The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Situé aux environs de Dinan, le manoir-porche des Fossés (fief relevant de Montafilant) remonte à la fin du 16e siècle. De plan rectangulaire, il est percé d'une porte cochère et d'une porte piétonne. Ses façades percées de baies géminées trilobées et d'archères cruciformes lui confèrent beaucoup de caractère, de même que la charpente de la grande salle qui occupe tout l'étage. Le manoir a appartenu aux famille Le Borgne (14e siècle) , de la Bouexière (15e-16e siècles) , des Nos (17e siècle) , Le Doyen, des Nos (17e-18e siècles) et de Kergorlay.

Situated in the vicinity of Dinan, the porch-manor of the Fossés (fief held of Montafilant) dates back to the late 16th century. Of rectangular plan, it is pierced by a carriage gateway and a pedestrian gateway. Its façades pierced with geminated trilobed openings and cruciform arrow-slits confer much character upon it, as does the roof structure of the great hall which occupies the entire storey. The manor belonged to the families Le Borgne (14th century), de la Bouexière (15th-16th centuries), des Nos (17th century), Le Doyen, des Nos (17th-18th centuries) and de Kergorlay.
