The density of manors in Brittany is remarkable: there are thousands of them! Prestigious residences or more modest buildings, the privileged status of their origin is attached to the land more than to the residence. Despite the ravages of time, many remain, some restored from the ground up, others in ruins, intact or remodeled, open to the public or not. Why such richness? When, how, and by whom were they built?
In this highly illustrated study of crates, plans and drawings, and old and recent photographs, two specialists enlighten us. And guide our neighbor to nearly 300 Breton sites in a work destined to be a reference.
