Domaine de Trevarez

In the heart of an 85-hectare park, the Château de Trévarez has dominated the Aulne valley for over a century. A must-see site in Central Finistère, designated a "20th Century Heritage" site, the history of the Trévarez Estate is inextricably linked to one man, James de Kerjégu, born in Trévarez in 1846 and who died shortly after the château's completion in 1908. This wealthy politician, torn between local involvement and a Parisian life among the aristocracy and upper middle class, decided, over a century ago, to build a château equipped with the most innovative amenities. Everything there was pure luxury and modernity. Bombed during World War II, the château suffered significant damage… Thanks to considerable effort in recent years, new areas are gradually being opened to the public and showcased in the permanent exhibition "Building a Dream". (Link to the exhibition page) The construction of the château was accompanied by the creation and development of a vast park, now designated a "Remarkable Garden." In recent years, exhibitions of contemporary art and photographs taken during the Belle Époque have been held in the gardens. The majestic stables—whose glass roof was recently restored—regularly host festivals and temporary exhibitions.
