Exceptional 15th-Century Former House of Justice with Tower Staircase, Landscaped Garden and Further Conversion Potential Near Ploërmel.

Just 40 minutes from the stunning Gulf of Morbihan and only 10 minutes from the N24 dual carriageway, this remarkable 15th-century property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Breton history without sacrificing modern comfort.

Dating from 1468, this distinguished stone residence stands in the heart of a charming Breton village with over a thousand years of history. For centuries it occupied a central role within the community, serving as the local courthouse from the 15th to the 18th centuries before becoming known as the Manoir de la Tour following the French Revolution.

In later years it housed various village businesses before being carefully acquired and restored by its current owners in 2017.

Today, this unique home blends authentic heritage features with comfortable modern living, creating a property that is both historically significant and ready for immediate enjoyment.
