The castel of Châteaubriant

A medieval fortress and a Renaissance building, Châteaubriant Castle tells ten centuries of history.

In the Middle Ages, the Castle of Châteaubriant is in the heart of the Marches of Brittany. It constitutes a stronghold which defends the duchy against the kingdom of France. The keep, the ramparts, the seigneurial chapel and the lodgings of the medieval court still testify to the power of this fortress. In the 16th century, the barnyard became a place of residence open on gardens.
