Château de Grand-Fougeray, Medieval fortress in Grand-Fougeray, France.
The castle consists of a circular keep measuring 13 meters in diameter and rising 34 meters high, with remaining foundation elements of the enclosure.
In 1354, Bertrand Du Guesclin recaptured the castle from English occupation by disguising his soldiers as woodcutters who concealed their weapons in bundles.
The thirteenth-century Tour Duguesclin represents medieval military architecture of Brittany and stands as a testament to regional defensive construction methods.
The castle keep, designated as a historic monument since 1913, stands alongside an eighteenth-century château and converted stables that now function as a restaurant.
The upper section of the keep contained a dovecote, with architectural elements revealing the presence of an additional floor that no longer exists.
