We wanted to be closer to the Atlantic coast and were looking for a building full of character to restore. Roaming from south of La Roche-sur-Yon to north of Brest, the buildings and landscapes guided us towards our final choice, South Finistère.
The manor house is typical of Breton medieval architecture, with stone walls, slate roofs and narrow openings. It still has its stone porch, a walled garden full of flowers, is lulled by the sound of the river and quite unusually has imposing fortification that illustrates the manor's original defensive function. It has a square rampart with battlements and loopholes, bordered by a parapet with machicolations and a watchtower at one of its corners. The spacious main house has several floors and features impressive fireplaces, exposed beams and mullioned windows.
The Moustoir manor house was built at the end of the 13th century and is believed to be a former commandery of the Knights Hospitallers of Saint-Jean-de-Jérusalem. Moustoir comes from the Breton "moster", meaning monastery, and Saint-Évarzec comes from "Trefidoc", a 6th century Breton saint. At the beginning of the 17th century, the seigneurial dwelling became the property of the Toutenoutre family, who preceded an illustrious line of descendants: Charles d'Arenberg and Louise Marguerite de La Marck, Elisabeth, Empress of Austria (Sissi), Marie-José, Queen of Italy, Albert II, King of the Belgians, and many other lucky people! In 2017, an extensive restoration programme was launched to transform it into a small hotel full of character.
A holiday or business trip in a historic setting. A classic atmosphere, which is both refined and warm, with something for everyone. A world dedicated to events, where professionals and private individuals can make the venue their own for their event. The privatization of a unique, timeless venue in the heart of the wild, invigorating Breton Riviera, nestled between the coast and the tourist towns of Quimper, Concarneau and Fouesnant. A Breton manor house dotted with artistic gems and activities and experiences for all: guided tours on Heritage Days, cultural events, a wellness area with workshops and courses, activities on request and depending on the season, a one-hectare pond, gardens, terraces and outdoor areas to relax and admire the landscape from.
