The Château de Trévarez (lit: Pink Castle or Red Castle)[1] is a stately home in the commune of Saint-Goazec in Finistère, in Brittany, France. It was commissioned by James Kerjégu, Chairman of the General Council of Finistère, and built at the end of the 19th century by the French architect Walter-André Destailleur.
Trévarez is one of the most recent châteaux built in France. Construction was completed around the beginning of the twentieth century. In 1941, the château was taken over by the German occupying forces. The castle was bombed on 30 July 1944 by the Royal Air Force.[1]
Location and style
The château is located on a promontory overlooking the valley of Alder. Its architecture is a combination of traditional style and technological innovations.[1]
