Read moreThe castle of the sea, as it was called before the Quiberonnais rebaptisent the castle of Turpault, is like the emblem of the city. It remains fantastic, reminiscent of the medieval era and of English influence, was built in the early th century. Open on the whole of the wild coast, it is a pure jewel of which you have to come and admire the architecture and the foot of the Pointe-er-Lann to which she adds a little majesty and a fantastic tone. You can only get close to the castle that remains private property, but it's enough to admire beauty and let yourself be overwhelmed by the atmosphere that it radiates. The owners of the premises have long opened the door to the commune so that fireworks are organised there, but this may be a subject of change due to the sale of the castle in the course of 2010. History does not tell if the castle has found buyer and if so which… As an anecdote, it was said that in 2007 Johnny Halliday and his wife Laetitia would have liked to buy it but not being sold at the time, would not have been able to buy it!
