Lanloup: Churches, Manor House and Garden Landscapes

Lanloup offers several distinct points of interest for planning a trip: ecclesiastical architectural history, a fortified manor house, diverse garden and landscape settings, and a designated stage of the GR®34. If you are looking for a hotel for a stay in Lanloup, these themes can help you decide what to focus on during your trip. The buildings offer different historical and architectural perspectives; the grounds of the Domaine du château de Lanloup, with their landscapes and gardens, are another subject in their own right.

Churches and Historic Buildings

The Église Saint-Loup was built in the 15th and 16th centuries. Its architecture includes a vaulted side porch decorated with statues of the Apostles. The church and the calvary cross were classified as historic monuments by decree dated December 12, 1910. The Chapelle Sainte-Colombe de Kervered dates from the 15th century. Jeanne de Lanloup and Geoffroy de Boisgelin, the lords of Kervered and Kervegan respectively, founded it on the site of a former hermitage. The churches thus offer distinct points of historical interest: at Saint-Loup, the construction period and side porch are defining features; at Sainte-Colombe, it is the foundation on the site of a former hermitage.

The Manoir de la Noë Verte

The Manoir de la Noë Verte is a small fortified manor house dating from the 15th century. The original building is flanked by two towers. The decree of July 6, 2009, covers a precisely defined ensemble as historic monuments: the façades and roofs of the main house and outbuildings, as well as the features bordering the main courtyard, excluding the modern extension facing the pond. The area of the main courtyard, the outer enclosure, the dovecote and the flax retting pond are also listed. The listing therefore includes not only the main house but also parts of the courtyard and other features of the estate.

Gardens and Landscapes

The Domaine du château de Lanloup includes wetlands, a pond, wooded areas, bocage landscape and old hedgerows. Other features include a fountain washhouse, an orchard, an English garden, a presbytery garden, an herb garden, a woodland garden, a rose garden collection, a classical garden and a permanently cultivated kitchen garden. The range extends from landscape features such as wetlands and old hedgerows to various designed garden styles. The grounds are intended to be open to the public year-round via a marked path. If you are planning to visit the site, check access in advance.

A Stage of the GR®34

A 2024 FFRandonnée stage guide lists a 20.5 km stage of the GR®34 from Saint-Quay-Portrieux to Lanloup. The stated distance provides a specific reference point for planning a hike. This means the stage can be considered as a focus in its own right, alongside the architectural history and garden and landscape settings, without combining these different travel interests into a single itinerary.
