Malestroit, commune in Morbihan, France
Malestroit is a commune in Brittany in the Morbihan department, situated along the Oust River and characterized by a network of medieval streets. The town consists mainly of stone buildings and open squares that form its center.
Malestroit developed in the Middle Ages as a trading hub at a river crossing and remained important in the region for centuries. The town flourished from the 12th to 18th centuries as a center for commerce and craftsmanship.
Malestroit displays typical Breton architecture with stone houses arranged along narrow medieval streets that define its character. The layout and building style reflect its past importance as a trading center in the region.
The town is best explored on foot since streets are narrow and vehicle-unfriendly, with many paths through historic areas. The river and surrounding area offer opportunities for walking and exploring the natural landscape.
The historic center contains several old bridges over the Oust, some dating back to the Middle Ages and shaping the town's network. These bridges are quiet witnesses to the trading traffic that once made the town flourish.
