Chateau Léhon, Medieval fortress in Léhon, France.

The fortress stands on a rocky promontory above the Rance valley, featuring trapezoidal walls and semicircular towers from the 13th century architecture.

First documented in 1034, the castle witnessed conflicts between the sons of Duke Geoffrey I of Brittany and underwent multiple destructions and reconstructions.

The castle structure reflects the evolution of military architecture, incorporating adaptations for firearms during the 15th century while maintaining its original defense elements.

Visitors can access the castle ruins daily without admission fees, with parking available at Allée du Château or the Léhon tennis club.

The eastern wall contains preserved 13th-century tower remains, while a chapel dedicated to Saint Joseph replaced the original dungeon in 1874.
