The castle

This masterpiece of medieval architecture, listed as a Historic Monument in 1930, is one of the best preserved buildings in Brittany. Overlooking the Trieux, it is the last witness of a defensive system built between Pontrieux and the Bréhat archipelago.

The first castle clod is said to have been founded in the 11th century. The stone castle was rebuilt at the beginning of the 15th century for noble Lady Catherine de Troguindy. The medieval fortified house, whose architecture was both residential and defensive, is representative of Breton manor houses. A tour around the ground floor sheds light on the daily life of a Breton seigniory at the end of the Middle Ages.

The ground floor includes 3 main rooms: the kitchen, the lower hall and the cellar. Access to the upper floors is via spiral staircases.

The generously sized rooms on the upper floors host annual exhibitions.
