The Red Manor

The manor of Trévarez in central Brittany is often referred to as “the Red Manor”, for obvious reasons. It is a neo-Gothic affair built from 1893 by a wealthy Breton politician with all and every creatures comforts known at the time: elevators, central heating, running hot and cold water everywhere, a refrigerator, etc.

 

The alliance of dark Kersanton granite and red brick gives off a weird feeling, and the truth is, I very much dislike the looks of this building, which gives me the shivers. The park is very nice, though.
