Medieval fortress and Renaissance building, the castle of Châteaubriant tells ten centuries of history. In the Middle Ages, the castle of Châteaubriant is in the heart of the Marches de Bretagne. It is a stronghold and defends the duchy against the kingdom of France. The keep, the ramparts, the seigneurial chapel and the lodges of the medieval court still testify to the power of this fortress. In the sixteenth century, the castle became a place of residence open on gardens.
The gardens of the castle are free of charge all year round. In the large house, a 3D device allows to discover the successive stages of the construction of the castle, from 1080 to today. For the autonomous visit, plans and games for children are available at the reception-shop. You can also download the Baludik app on your favorite blinds and enjoy guided tours and track games.
