About

The Château de la Hunaudaye was founded in the 13th century in a strategic area of the Penthièvre. It was rebuilt and strengthened over the centuries, especially after the conflicts that affected medieval Brittany. Its five towers, curtain walls and moats still form a very readable silhouette despite the ruined state. Destruction during the Revolution turned the castle into an open-air monument, now made safe and equipped for visitors. The visit combines architecture, information panels, guided tours and activities for children. The ruin is great for exploring, with interesting views from the accessible upper levels. In autumn 2026, the castle reopened from 17 October to 1 November, every day from 2.30 pm to 6 pm; check the calendar for the next season.
