Château de Kergounadeach

Château de Kergounadeach is castle ruins in Brittany featuring four round towers and medieval defensive elements. The structure blends fortification details with Renaissance-style chimneys positioned on elevated terrain.

The fortress was built around 1630 by Sebastian II of Rosmadec as a quadrangular stronghold. Partial dismantling occurred in 1726 following its sale to a new owner.

The site carries the name of a local noble family deeply rooted in this region for centuries. Visitors can still sense the long connection between this family and the surrounding landscape.

The property is privately owned and visits require advance permission from the current owners. Access is restricted, so visitors should arrange details ahead of time before making the trip.

When the Budes de Guébriant family took over in the late 19th century, stones from the ruins were repurposed to construct neighboring churches. This reuse of castle materials shows how the structure eventually became part of the local community's fabric.
