Château de Rustéphan, Medieval castle ruins in Pont-Aven, France
The remaining walls of the castle rise 20 meters high, featuring Gothic arches, corner turrets, large fireplaces, and stone cross-pieced windows among vegetation.
Jean du Faou, chamberlain of France and grand seneschal of Brittany, constructed this hunting lodge for the Dukes of Brittany in 1420.
The ruins hold connections to local folklore through tales of Géneviève de Rustéphan and Iannick ar Flécher, whose spirits reportedly appear on moonlit nights.
The castle stands as a protected historical monument since 1926, with ongoing preservation efforts by the Nizon community to stabilize its remaining structures.
The French Revolution caused significant damage to the manor house, leaving only two sections of the original rectangular building with corner turrets.
