History
Official heritage record, in French:
Cette résidence de campagne a été bâtie en 1870 sur un terrain vierge pour M. Beaubois, de Lorient, englobant un territoire de chasse qui jouxte la vallée de l'Ellé. Le propriétaire reconstruit également la ferme voisine de Kerdaniel qui devient une métairie. Le logis et le pavillon de chasse sont dévastés par un incendie en 1972. Le logis ruiné fait aujourd'hui partie du domaine d'une maison de retraite dont les bâtiments modernes s'élèvent à proximité.
