Château de Kerouzéré
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Château de Kerouzéré is a 15th century castle in the commune of Sibiril in the Finistère département of France.
The castle was built in granite in the first half of the 15th century for Jean and Yves de Kérouzéré, followers of the dukes of Britanny. It was besieged in 1590 during the French Wars of Religion and the southeast tower was destroyed. The castle has 17th century wall paintings. The roof of the northwest tower was restored at the end of the 19th century. There is a 15th century dovecote.
It has been listed since 1883 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.[1]
Vistors to the castle can see the armoury, chapel, stairs, wall-walk and the watchman's tower with a view over the sea.[2]
