About
The Château de Trévarez was built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for James de Kerjégu. Designed as a modern residence, it included technical equipment that was advanced for its time from the start. Its architecture mixes pink brick, stone, Gothic and Renaissance references in an eclectic style typical of the Belle Époque. Badly damaged by bombing in 1944, the château deliberately keeps the traces of this history while being gradually restored. The estate includes a vast park, famous for its collections of camellias, rhododendrons and hydrangeas. Art exhibitions and seasonal events, especially at Christmas, regularly renew the visit. In 2026, opening hours and access to the château’s spaces vary with the season and the restoration work.
