Hiking

Châteaubriant Castle is a medieval castle transformed into a Renaissance palace. There you can discover the impressive fortifications, the elegant dwellings and the mysterious legend of Françoise de Foix, who died in the castle under mysterious circumstances. You can also admire the exhibition “In the Ink of Dreams”, which presents the works of contemporary artists inspired by the castle and its history. The castle is open every day from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

A medieval fortress and Renaissance building, Chateaubriant Castle tells the story of ten centuries of history. In the Middle Ages, the castle was at the heart of the Marches of Brittany. It served as a stronghold that defended the duchy against the Kingdom of France. The keep, ramparts, seigneurial chapel, and medieval courtyard lodgings still bear witness to the power of this fortress. In the 16th century, the bailey became a residence opening onto the gardens.

The castle is a self-guided tour. A little tip: there are bike racks inside the castle, just beyond the entrance.
