The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Ce manoir, dont la disparition a été évitée de justesse, date en partie du 16e siècle - la porte du logis principal est daté 1573 ; mais, les recherches aux archives départementales n'ont pas permis de trouver l'origine de cet édifice. Les bâtiments des communs sont situés de chaque côté d'une cour fermée à l'est par le corps de logis. L'utilisation de matériaux de couleurs différentes, l'alternance de baies rectangulaires et plein-cintre font le charme de ce manoir morbihannais.

This manor, whose disappearance was barely avoided, dates in part from the 16th century - the door of the main dwelling is dated 1573; however, research in the departmental archives has not made it possible to find the origin of this building. The outbuildings are situated on each side of a courtyard closed to the east by the main body. The use of materials of different colours, the alternation of rectangular and round arch openings gives charm to this Morbihan manor.
