Château de Trévarez

Saint-Goazec, France

The Château de Trévarez is a stately home 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.

Renovated castle with a beautiful garden, fun family games and a lovely picnic area. The visit is not free but very reasonably priced especially for children. Wheelchair accessible and restrooms available across the domain.

Loved revisiting this chateau. I was last here in the 1980s when there was still a huge hole in roof caused by RAF bombs back in 1944. It is amazing to see what survived internally and unusually for french historic buildings there are lots of information panels and photos of how it once looked. It must have been otherworldly when it was built with flushing toilets for everyone including staff, central heating, a lift, amazing plunge baths. Well worth a visit and hope it won't be another 35 years til I revisit to see what other progress has been made with conserving this building.

We were lucky enough to visit the beautiful photogenic Château de Trévarez in May 2023 when the gardens were in full bloom of colourful azaleas. We also stopped at the café to enjoy a coffee and Breton cake!

Really nice castle ! The visit was great and super well organized. Very different from older buildings yet still quite interesting. The view is amazing and the gardens delightful to walk around.

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
