Château de Trévarez
Castle in Quimper
Château de Trévarez is a stately home located in Saint-Goazec, Finistère, Brittany, France. Built at the end of the 19th century, it was commissioned by James de Kerjégu, Chairman of the General Council of Finistère, and designed by the French architect Walter-André Destailleur. The château is one of the most recent built in France, completed around the beginning of the 20th century.
The château is perched on a promontory overlooking the Aulne River, offering breathtaking views. Its architecture blends traditional styles with modern innovations, including central heating, electricity, and an elevator, which were cutting-edge at the time. During World War II, the château was occupied by German forces and later bombed by the Royal Air Force in 1944, leaving it heavily damaged.
Today, Château de Trévarez is partly listed as a monument historique and is open to the public. The park and gardens, recognized as a Jardin Remarquable, feature seasonal exhibitions, sculptures, and themed events. The château hosts art installations, historical displays, and cultural festivals, making it a dynamic heritage site.
