Stamboom van Hagenbeek

• Seigneur de Guéméné-sur-Scorff (Morbihan) .

Guéméné owes its name to a feudal motte erected in 1050 when Lord Guégant, the Seigneur set up his commandery there. The name “Kemenet” which became Guéméné in the 15th century, evolved to Guéméné-sur-Scorff in 1801. The simple feudal motte was replaced in the 12th century by a stone fortress built by Alain 1st de Rohan. The town grew little by little around the castle and was raised to the status of principality in 1570. The prestige of this new status brought with it considerable development and administrative importance. The beautiful buildings which the visitor can admire today in the historic centre date back to this period. The history of the town is intrinsically linked to that of the Rohan-Guéméné family, a long line of great builders whose visionary construction works continued over several generations.
