Château des Barons du Pont, Medieval castle in Pont-l'Abbé, France.

The castle features a large rectangular main building with two towers, including one connected to a stone turret containing a staircase.

Built in the 14th century by Hervé du Pont, the castle underwent modifications in the 17th century following a fire during a peasant revolt in 1675.

The Bigouden Museum, established in the castle since 1954, displays a collection of traditional regional costumes and headdresses.

The Pont-l'Abbé town hall currently occupies part of the castle, which is undergoing complete renovation until late 2024.

The medieval cellars of the 14th-century dungeon remain open to visitors, while the wedding hall displays paintings by regional artists.
