Château de la Roche-Pichemer, Medieval castle in Saint-Ouën-des-Vallons, France
The castle consists of two residential wings framed by three large pavilions, with a chapel renovated during the nineteenth century.
Louis du Plessis constructed the current structure between 1542 and 1570, incorporating defensive elements such as arrow slits and a cylindrical corner tower.
The castle library features a remarkable 4.5-meter-tall granite fireplace decorated with pink and black marble cabochons on the upper floor.
While the interior remains private, visitors can explore the landscaped park and gardens during summer months following marked paths.
Local tales speak of Catherine de Cervon, known as Catherine Sans Pitié, who resided in the castle and was condemned to ride eternally on a fiery chariot.
