Château de Josselin seen from the Sainte-Croix bridge

Highlight • Castle

Erected at the beginning of the 11th century, the Château de Josselin was once just a simple wooden building. Rebuilt and extended over the centuries, it was modernized by the Rohan family who still live there today.

The castle can be visited and also houses a museum of dolls and toys.

Josselin Castle

Highlight • Religious Site

The castle's imposing towers are reflected in the River Oust. Owned by the Rohan family, one of the oldest families in Brittany, it is the symbol of this pretty town. Plan half a day to stroll through the charming streets of this "petite cité de caractère" (small, particularly picturesque town) and also visit the basilica.

Josselin Washhouse

Highlight • Structure

During the canalization of the Oust, several places, with wide steps, served until the beginning of the 20th century as public wash houses, which have almost all disappeared. This covered, simple and functional wash house, located at the foot of the castle and at the confluence of the Saint-Nicolas stream and the canal, was set up at the end of the 19th century according to the plan of the architect A. Lafargue who intervened several times in Josselin. patrimoine.bzh/gertrude-diffusion/dossier/lavoir-rue-du-canal-josselin/ab50e0d0-142a-469b-8755-4be8a3fd9806
