Château de Coëtquen, Medieval castle in Saint-Hélen, France
The remains of the castle include a 15th-century tower base and a 17th-century residence built on medieval foundations with granite window frames.
During the League Wars, the original 15th-century fortress suffered severe damage, leading to partial dismantling of its military structures and fortifications.
The castle became a source of literary inspiration, serving as the setting for the novel 'Patira' written by Raoul de Navery.
The property remains in private ownership, with sections of the 15th-century tower foundations and architectural elements still visible to visitors.
The Coëtquen family produced notable figures including Raoul V, who served as Admiral of Brittany and negotiated truces with England in the 15th century.
