The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Le manoir de Kerhoas, exemple d'architecture manoriale du pays bigouden, est un bâtiment construit à la fin du 15e siècle et comprenant plusieurs corps de bâtiments disposés en U autour d'une cour jadis fermée. L'histoire de ses origines est inconnue, la construction étant probablement l'oeuvre d'une famille de petite noblesse, comme en témoigne son architecture modeste, quoique soignée (porte, décor du pignon). L'ensemble tel qu'il se présente actuellement a pratiquement conservé les dispositions décrites dans un acte notarié de 1753, et semble n'avoir subi que peu de modifications depuis sa construction : seule la façade sud a été légèrement remaniée. L'intérieur est également dans un état de conservation remarquable, qui a conservé les dispositions représentatives du manoir médiéval.

The manor of Kerhoas, example of manorial architecture of the Bigouden country, is a building constructed at the end of the 15th century and comprising several buildings arranged in a U around a courtyard once enclosed. The history of its origins is unknown, the building being probably the work of a family of minor nobility, as testified by its modest, though careful architecture (door, decoration of the gable). The ensemble as it presents itself at present has practically retained the arrangements described in a notarial deed of 1753, and appears to have undergone only few modifications since its construction: only the southern façade has been slightly altered. The interior is likewise in a remarkable state of preservation, which has retained the arrangements representative of the medieval manor.
