The Kerdalo gardens are the fruit of the imagination of Prince Peter Wolkonsky, born in Russia at the beginning of the last century. Passionate about botany, in 1965 he discovered the place called Le Verger which would become Kerdalo. This old farm, magnificent on its promontory overlooking the Jaudy river, faces the old town of Tréguier.

Today, the gardens are managed by the prince's descendants. It is open to the public from April to September.

My Moments

The creation of the gardens began in 1965 with the purchase of old agricultural buildings from Peter Wolkonsky. He reconstructs roofs and facades in the style of an old stately home. Design the area, create ponds and fountains. Build outbuildings and pavilions.

Botanical Garden in Trédarzec - opening hours from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., closed on Sundays.

A very beautiful garden to walk through and discover, quiet and not overcrowded with visitors. Designed on many levels and as you roam around you always get new insights that you wouldn't have guessed before.

For me it's probably beautiful at any time of the year because of its variety of plants.

There is also a small tea room.

In 2005 it was classified as a notable garden and in 2007 as a historical monument.

After his death, his daughter and her husband continued his work.

Born in Saint Petersburg (Russia) in 1901, Prince Peter Wolkonsky discovered his passion for botany as a child by secretly invading the vegetable garden of the Tsar who resided in the neighboring palace.

He spent the first part of his life painting plants and landscapes on a grand tour that took him from North Africa to Provence via Italy. He then moved to the Paris region where he designed his first garden.

In 1965, he discovered Le Verger, which later became Kerdalo, an old farm overlooking the Jaudy river and opposite the old town of Tréguier.

A visionary, he was already aware of the importance of water in the development of his garden and chose to settle on hilly land over which several springs bubble. By taming them, he imagined a garden with ponds, waterfalls, water stairs, an Italian grotto and pavilions decorated with shells.

He visualizes in his mind associations of colors and textures that evolve over the seasons. More than 5,000 plants find their place in these 17 hectares.

When he died in 1997, Kerdalo was taken over by his daughter Isabelle and her husband Timothy.
