Josselin Castle, Medieval castle in Josselin, France
Josselin Castle is a stone fortress in Brittany that rises above the Oust River with Gothic and Renaissance features. Pointed towers, large windows, and a refined facade shape how the building appears from the water and surrounding lands.
The fortress began in the early medieval period and took its name from a local viscount and his son. Multiple rebuilding campaigns over the centuries shaped its current blend of architectural styles.
The castle carries the stories of the Rohan-Chabot family, who shaped its role across centuries. Walking through the rooms reveals how nobles lived and what objects filled their daily lives.
The site opens during warmer months and has different areas to explore at your own pace. You can walk through selected rooms and visit a doll collection housed in a separate building on the grounds.
Parts of the castle remain home to descendants of the original builders, who also welcome visitors to the property. This living arrangement gives the place a different quality than standard museum settings.
