History
Official heritage record, in French:
Le manoir de Bodinio est reconstruit, autour de 1600, par Jeanne de Bodigneau mariée en 1583 à François de Kerc'hoent qui s'y éteint en 1629. L'édifice est en grande partie détruit au cours du XVIIIe siècle et fournit ses matériaux à la construction du nouveau château de Cheffontaines. Un château neuf est construit dans la 2e moitié du 19e siècle à proximité de ses vestiges (un pavillon subsiste) par la famille Nouët du Tailly.
