Château d'Auray, Medieval castle ruins in Auray, France.
The remains of the castle include a round tower called Tour du Talus and three buttresses overlooking the Loc'h River and Saint-Goustan port.
The initial castle was built in 1096 to protect a ford, then rebuilt in 1201 under Arthur I of Brittany to strengthen the defenses.
Duke Francis I of Brittany and Isabella of Scotland celebrated their wedding at this castle on October 30, 1442, marking its status as ducal residence.
The castle remains are located in the historic center of Auray, accessible via Rue du Château, which was built over the former northern moat.
The stones from the castle were used in 1558 to construct fortifications on Belle-Île following the sale ordered by King Henry II.
