Château du Guildo, Medieval fortress ruins in Créhen, France
The castle stands on a rocky promontory at the Arguenon river mouth, with remaining stone walls and corner towers forming a quadrangular layout.
Built in the 13th century to replace a wooden structure, the castle underwent major reconstruction in the late 14th century under Charles de Dinan.
The site represents the architectural evolution of Breton military structures, transitioning from wood to stone construction over several centuries.
The castle grounds cover 5 hectares of freely accessible land and receive approximately 65,000 visitors annually through walking trails.
Archaeological excavations revealed 14th-century wall paintings and architectural elements that document the transformation from fortress to noble residence.
