Château du Plessis-Bertrand, Medieval fortress ruins in Saint-Coulomb, France
The Plessis-Bertrand Castle features remaining enclosure walls and circular towers measuring seven to eight meters in diameter, surrounded by ancient moats.
Built in 1259 on the site of an earlier fortress, the castle belonged to the Du Guesclin family before Henri IV ordered its dismantling in 1598.
The castle held high judicial authority in medieval times, maintaining gallows and execution grounds at La Hoguette for local administration of justice.
The castle ruins stand along the road connecting Saint-Coulomb to Saint-Méloir-des-Ondes, with visible foundations revealed through moat clearing operations.
Three underground passages allowed occupants to escape during sieges, while nine towers originally protected the curtain wall with a drawbridge leading to a semicircular courtyard.
