Château de Dinan, Medieval castle in Dinan, France
The castle features two circular towers connected by a projecting building, with a drawbridge entrance opening on the ground floor and extensive machicolations.
Duke John IV of Brittany commissioned the construction of the castle in 1382 after returning from exile in England to establish resistance against French annexation.
The castle museum presents exhibits about medieval military architecture and the development of defensive structures in the Brittany region during the Middle Ages.
Visitors can explore five levels of the castle daily from 10:30 AM to 7:00 PM, with access to both residential chambers and military installations.
The castle's water supply system includes a complex network controlled by a well in the small courtyard near the postern entrance.
