Château d'Ereck, Historical castle ruins in Questembert, France.
The castle featured a rectangular layout with a Mansard roof, two decorated dormers, and multiple carved fireplaces built from solid granite blocks.
Built around 1550, the castle stood until the 1960s when its owner dismantled it, using the stones to construct the Ruffiac town hall.
Three original fireplaces from the castle were purchased by the French government and transferred to Kerjean Castle, with only one successfully reinstalled.
The remains of the castle stand 550 meters east of Lesnoyal hamlet and 1.4 kilometers north of Bel-Air village at coordinates 47.697472, -2.450778.
Archaeological excavations at the site uncovered Roman coins, suggesting the presence of an ancient Roman settlement before the castle construction.
