Sibiril: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Sibiril combines distinctive evidence of Breton history with harbour and coastal landscapes. Between the Château de Kérouzéré, the fishing harbour of Moguériec, trails, and the La Mauvaise Grève spot with the activities offered by the École de Surf du Léon, the town presents a diverse picture.

Culture and History

The Château de Kérouzéré was built between 1425 and 1458 by Jean de Kérouzéré, chamberlain to Duke Jean V of Brittany. Inside, there is a monumental staircase, a furnished banqueting hall decorated with tapestries, and an exceptional roof structure. The château also offers guided tours lasting approximately one hour.

The Église Saint-Pierre, dating from 1767, is cross-shaped and has a baptistery and an altarpiece depicting the Adoration of the Magi. The church also contains the tomb of Eon Kérouzéré, a cupbearer to Duke Jean V, who died in 1460.

The Manoir de Kerlan is a carefully constructed 16th-century manor house with pointed gables, mullioned windows, and a square turret with a stone spiral staircase. It is historically associated with the handover of the Château de Kérouzéré to the Leaguers in 1590. The manor is privately owned and visible from the road. From 1 April to 31 October, the grounds are freely accessible; a free tour of the interior is possible upon prior request made at least eight days in advance.

The Viaduc de Saint-Jacques also tells of the past: it was built during the Second Empire and served for the slow transport of vegetables on the so-called potato trains. The Moulin de Kerlan was built in the 16th century, completely restored, and listed as a historic monument by decree of 29 October 1968.

Harbour and Coast

The Port de Moguériec is a small, typical fishing harbour that has shifted from lobster fishing to specialising in the catch of crabs, spider crabs, and lobsters. Until the 1960s, it was the most important lobster harbour in northern Finistère. The harbour has a lighthouse and a jetty; the jetty protects pleasure boats from the swell of the open sea. A slipway allows boats to be launched or hauled out at high tide.

The Plage de Port Neuf lies on the shore of a natural ria and has a picnic area and a children's playground. The Plage de Pors Misclic, also known as La Mauvaise Grève, is a surfing and bodyboarding spot.

Water Sports

At the La Mauvaise Grève spot in Moguériec, Sibiril, the École de Surf du Léon offers surfing and bodyboarding lessons as well as related courses. The programme also includes stand-up paddleboarding, trips on a large paddleboard, and a wave kindergarten for children aged 5 to 8.

Trails by the Sea

The GR 34 runs uninterrupted through Sibiril along the section between Saint-Pol-de-Léon and Plouescat. The La Littorale (V45) cycle route also passes through Sibiril and runs along the sea.

Following its restoration, the Viaduc de Saint-Jacques is a recommended crossing for hikers and offers panoramic views of the Guillec Valley and the Port de Moguériec.
