Château du Bois-du-Loup, Heritage castle in Augan, France

The castle exhibits Renaissance architecture with a southern facade made of dressed stone and a northern facade combining granite and purple schist materials.

Built between 1871 and 1874 by Count Roland des Clos de la Fonchais, the castle replaced an earlier structure from 1686 constructed by Jean-François Larcher.

The estate belonged to multiple noble families through centuries, including the Larcher family who expanded the property during the 17th century.

Located within the military domain of Coëtquidan, the castle requires special authorization for access as it stands on restricted military grounds.

The ruins of the castle served as target practice for American forces in 1945, leading to substantial damage to its southeastern tower.
