PIERRE CHANAL CASTLE

Château Pierre Chanal, a majestic stately home nestled in Brittany, is a testament to the elegance and grandeur of the 15th century. Its secluded riverside location provides an idyllic setting for this imposing L-shaped building. Unfortunately, part of the right wing has collapsed, testifying to the ravages of time on this architectural gem.

Upon entering, through large red doors, visitors are greeted by an enigmatic statue, part of whose legs seem to be missing, giving the place a special atmosphere. A visit to the castle transports visitors into a dreamlike world, preserved from graffiti and modern alterations. The authentic charm of the place is felt, particularly thanks to its small chapel with bright colours and its magnificent decorated ceilings on the ground floor.

It has survived the ages under the leadership of many owners who have enlarged and embellished it many times. Completely renovated in the 19th century, it has managed to preserve its historical character, notably with its ornate door of the staircase turret, listed as a historical monument in 1934.
