Chateau d'Edern


Edern is a small village outside Quimper in Brittany, France. This manor used to be the vocal point of the town, but has unfortunately gone a bit to ruin. It is owned by Jean-Edern Hallier and is not open to the public. This photo was taken in 2000, I wonder what this place looks like today.

  1. It probably looks a bit worse now. I guess the owner can't afford to do anything about it.

  6. I live just across this castle and you are right, the owner cant afford it. Its quite a shame because the more he wait, the more cost gets important. Please forgive my bad english. French people are not famous for their langage skills ^^
