Historical
background
|
The
current domain is two centuries old, but the estate
goes back much longer. Its name has evolved over the
years. In the 17th and 18th century, it was called
Lestancou. Louis
Béléguic had the current manor house built in 1844.
The
Domaine du Stang
was originally put the Gourcuff noble family
as an agricultural estate next to their manor house
at Kerdanet. In 1794 the estate was seized during
the French Revolution and sold to Jean Corentin
Danielou. In 1808, it was bought by the Béléguic family, wealthy merchants
based in nearby Pont-Croix. Guillaume Béléguic was the fourth mayor of Douarnenez shortly
after the French Revolution. From 1860,

main farmer, Hervé Bourveau in 1959. In 1982,
Maurice Ogier bought the estate from a

From 1925 to 2006, the estate has been run as
