On the edge of the Hunaudaye forest, in Plédéliac, stands the imposing architecture of a château whose oldest remains date back to the 13th century. Built by the powerful Tournemine family and destroyed in 1341 during the War of the Breton Succession, it was rebuilt in the 15th century: the three largest towers and the dwellings date from this period. As the Tournemine family declined, so did the château from the 17th century onwards. Looted during the French Revolution, it was used as a stone quarry in the 19th century. Many buildings disappeared, and one end even collapsed. Bought by the State in 1930, it underwent a vast restoration campaign between 2005 and 2008: the successful integration of modern materials with medieval remains allows us to appreciate the soul of this château. You'll be able to see a drawbridge and several living areas such as kitchens, cellars and the seigniorial hall. The towers have been beautifully restored, in particular the military tower, entirely occupied by a spiral staircase. The top of the chapel tower offers a fine panoramic view over the countryside. It's also possible to access the curtain walls and walkways. Never short of anecdotes, our guides will immerse you in medieval daily life. You can also opt for a self-guided tour, with booklet, tablet or audioguide. Regular events include open-air cinema, children's workshops, evening visits... And every year, a new exhibition is presented.

On reviendra.encore merci !!!
Parvenu dans la cour, on prend conscience que ce château féodal est en ruines, mais que certaines parties ont fait l'objet d'une restauration, afin de sauvegarder l'existant et de permettre la visite.
L'accès au chemin de ronde notamment est très agréable. Il permet d'avoir une vue d'ensemble sur les tours et le château afin d'en apprécier la hauteur. Cinq tours sont également très bien conservées.
Des visites guidées sont organisées. Si vous avez la possibilité, n'hésitez pas à faire la visite guidée, qui donne de nombreuses clés de comprehension sur l'histoire du château, son époque et son environnement. La guide rend la visite très vivante, en faisant appel à votre imagination, tout en décrivant ce que pouvait être la vie au château.
La restauration du chateau qui a permis de l'ouvrir plus largement à la visite, est vraiment originale en apportant une touche de modernité.
Un livret explicatif est remis pour la visite. Une projection permet également d'obtenir de nombreuses informations.
Le lieu est assez isolé. Un grand parking est situé à proximité du château.
Environnement intéressant .
Bonne crêperie entre le grand parking et le château.
Je recommande. Pas très loin du site de Jugon les lacs. Une bonne journée au frais et au calme.
