Tips from the Community
A medieval fortress originally built in the 12th century and reconstructed multiple times throughout its turbulent history. The castle was demolished in 1395 by the Duke of Brittany due to its owner's rebellion, then rebuilt in 1406, and partially dismantled again in 1626 on Richelieu's orders after another conspiracy. The fortress features impressive defensive architecture including a barbican, gatehouse with 6-8 meter thick walls, and two major towers - the Tour de Rougé and Tour d'Acigné - both over 20 meters high.

This defensive medieval castle, perched on a rocky spur overlooking the Léguer valley, has no less than 11 towers and two dungeons! Built by the lords of Coëtmen Penthièvre and today owned by their descendants, it lived through the most glorious but also the most difficult hours of Breton history. Open from April 1 to November 1, days and times vary depending on the period.

Today's castle complex was built in the 15th century in place of a previous fortification from the 12th century. This was built on behalf of the Coëtmen-Penthièvre family. The lords of the castle Rolland II. and Rolland III. de Coëtmen were allied with Olivier V de Clisson, who was on the side of Charles V and therefore at odds with John IV, Duke of Brittany. In 1395, the old castle was partially demolished on Johann's orders.

The castle of Tronquedec dominates the Léguer river by its stature and its strategic position on its rocky outcrop. It is a marvelous witness to the local history of the region, to the Dukes of Brittany and to medieval times.

Magnificent mills on the banks of the Léguer, the Losser mill is emblematic of the Léguer mills. Today no longer in use, it nevertheless retains all of its mechanisms, grinding wheels and cogs!

The present castle complex was built in the 15th century instead of a previous fortress from the 12th century. It was built on behalf of the Coëtmen-Penthièvre family. The lords Rolland II and Rolland III. de Coëtmen were allied with Olivier V. de Clisson, who was on the side of Charles V and therefore was in dispute with John IV, Duke of Brittany. In 1395, therefore, the old castle was partially demolished on Johann's orders. Roland IV de Coëtmen had the castle rebuilt between 1406 and 1460. Between 1470 and 1500, a second expansion phase followed, due to the attempt of the Kingdom of France to undermine the autonomy of Brittany. In the following years, the system changed hands several times. During the Huguenot wars, the Protestant owner Gouyon de La Moussaye had the castle modernized from 1570 to 1598 and turned into a fortified with artillery. The castle was temporarily a haven for Huguenots. By order of Richelieu the castle was demolished in 1626.
