History

Official heritage record, in French:

La reconstruction du château du Pérennou procède très probablement du rhabillage et de l'agrandissement d'un manoir pouvant remonter au 15e siècle et dont une partie semble être conservée au nord. Cette intervention peut être datée du 3e quart du 19e siècle ; un parc paysager est aménagé par Eugène Bühler en 1850.

Des vestiges archéologiques sont retrouvés sur le domaine.

Architectural description from the regional heritage survey, in French:

Edifice de plan allongé irrégulier ; le corps de logis est composé de deux corps de bâtiments principaux flanqués de tours montant de fond ou en encorbellement, d'échauguettes et d'avant-corps saillants. Le centre de la façade nord est occupé par un châtelet d'entrée de plan ovale au devant duquel est construite la chapelle. L'entrée de la façade sud s'inscrit dans un massif formant pignon, accosté d'un avant-corps polygonal. L'élévation comprend un niveau de rez-de-chaussée, un ou deux étages carrés suivant les corps de bâtiment ; elle est ordonnancée en travées au sud. Le gros oeuvre est en moellon de granite avec encadrements de baies, chaînes d'angle, corniche et lucarnes en pierre de taille. Le massif central de la façade sud est en pierre de taille de granite.
