History
Official heritage record, in French:
Sur le plan cadastral de 1825, le site dominant la vallée de l´Ellé est vierge de toute construction. Le logis, bâti vers 1850, figure sur une carte postale ancienne ; il a été transformé à partir de 1894 pour le peintre Auguste de Penguern qui fait restructurer les parties hautes et les distributions intérieures (aménagement d´un atelier dans les combles, mise en place de lucarnes à toits débordants et d´une véranda disparue). A partir de 1922, l´intérieur a été partiellement transformé (cloisons, niveaux).
