At the end of Brittany, a few miles away from Quimper, on the site of Guilguiffin, a fortress had been erected during the 11th century. A few centuries later, with the agreement of king Louis XV, the landlord had it erased. After having the stones cut, he had them used to build up a new mansion, dedicated to hunting.
The present castle of Guilguiffin thus dates back to the 18th. At the entrance of this imposing estate, the drawing and setting of the stone pillars reflect the architect's oriental inspiration.
The castle and its 75 hectares park are listed and today completely restored. You will appreciate strolling along the alleys, lined with rhododendrons, daffodils and precious tree species. A beautiful architecture, a haven of peace and charm.
