Château de Careil, Renaissance castle in Guérande, France
The Château de Careil features a crenellated curtain wall and maintains its original defensive structure from the 14th century within the Loire-Atlantique region.
The castle underwent significant changes when it was attacked and pillaged by the Catholic League in 1589 due to its function as a Protestant worship place.
The castle presents three distinct visiting experiences throughout the year, including traditional tours, interactive activities, and evening candlelight explorations.
Visitors need to make reservations during school holidays, with payments accepted through cash, checks, or holiday vouchers at 33 rue du Château de Careil.
A third section of the castle structure disappeared during the 18th century following an accidental fire, resulting in the current architectural layout.
