History

In 1523 is ratified the deed of foundation of the collegiate church of Kersaint, and six canons establish themselves in Landunvez; it is supposed that their house was built in the second half of the 16th century. The building comprises a long house of one storey against which leans, on the north side and almost in its middle, a perpendicular building containing the staircase. In the angle thus formed, on the north-west side, a small turret very little projecting allows access to an upper room and to the roof space. The construction is made of irregular rubble stone placed in horizontal bands; blocks of granite of large dimensions and scarcely dressed form the corner chains in harped bond and the rampants and compose the frames of the doors and windows.
