On the outskirts of the Hunaudaye forest, in Plédéliac, stands the imposing architecture of a castle whose oldest remains date back to the 13th century. Built by the powerful Tournemine family, destroyed in 1341 during the War of Succession of Brittany, it was rebuilt in the 15th century: the three largest towers and the dwellings date from this period. The castle fell into decline at the same time as the Tournemine family, from the 17th century. Looted during the Revolution, it was used as a stone quarry in the 19th century. Many buildings disappeared, one end even collapsed. Bought by the State in 1930, it was the subject of a vast restoration campaign between 2005 and 2008: the successful integration of modern materials to the medieval remains allows to appreciate the soul of this castle. You will be able to see a drawbridge and several living spaces such as the kitchens, the cellars and the seigniorial room. The towers have been beautifully enhanced, especially the military tower, which is entirely occupied by a spiral staircase. The top of the chapel tower offers a beautiful view of the countryside. It is also possible to access the curtain walls and walkways. Never short of anecdotes, the guides will plunge you into medieval life. You can also opt for a self-guided tour, with a booklet, tablet or audio guide. Activities are regularly organised: open-air cinema, workshops for children... And, every year, a new exhibition is presented.
