Château de Catuelan à Hénon, 18th-century castle in Hénon, France.
Château de Catuelan is a long, pale grey stone building with a dark grey slate roof, standing in Hénon in the Côtes-d'Armor. Its central section projects slightly under a triangular pediment carved with a coat of arms, above three tall glazed doorways. Wings with two rows of shuttered windows extend to either side, brick chimney stacks rise from the roof, and a small spire sits at its centre. The building faces a gravel drive bordered by mown grass.
The château de Catuelan stands at Hénon in the Côtes-d'Armor. On 19 June 1964 a ministerial decree inscribed its façades and roofs, its pedimented door with pilasters, its terraces, courtyard ground and moats as monuments historiques. The Breton name Kastell Katuelan has been recorded for the castle since that same protection.
The Breton name Kastell Katuelan appears alongside the French form, and the building has been listed as a monument historique since 1964. The listing covers not only the facades and roofs but also the pedimented door with its pilaster, the terraces, the courtyard paving and the moats, so the protected ensemble includes the ground and waterworks around the house.
The château stands in Hénon, in the Côtes-d'Armor department of Brittany, and is a private property; the 1964 listing covers the façades, roofs, the pedimented gate with pilasters, the terraces, the courtyard ground and the moats, but it grants no right of entry. View the building and its gravel forecourt from the public approach and check locally before expecting access.
The 19 June 1964 listing covers more than the building: the moats, terraces and courtyard ground are protected alongside the façades, roofs and the pedimented door with its pilaster. The slate roof carries brick chimney stacks and a small central spire, details visible from the gravel drive.
