Château de Rosanbo, Gothic castle in Lanvellec, France
Description
Rosanbo Castle is a Gothic stronghold that rises above the Bo Valley, surrounded by four hectares of neoclassical gardens. Long vaulted hornbeam hedges create a formal framework around the main buildings.
History
The fortress was built as a fortified structure in the 14th century and took its name when King Louis XIV granted the Le Peletier family the right to use Rosanbo. This royal recognition shaped the family's social standing for generations to come.
Culture
The castle's library holds thousands of volumes that reveal what the family read over centuries. The Breton room shows how the family combined traditional regional life with their aristocratic home.
Practical
The site opens seasonally from spring through autumn, with guided tours offered in multiple languages. Arriving early in the day helps you avoid crowds and spend more time exploring the gardens and interior spaces.
Did you know?
The castle has been owned by the same family since it was founded in the 14th century, making it one of Europe's longest family-held estates. This unbroken succession means the original furniture and decorative details remain largely as they were left centuries ago.
