The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Château cité dès le 12e siècle, se composant à l'origine de quatre tours du 15e siècle dont deux existent encore en partie. Il était entouré d'un mur d'enceinte surmonté d'un promenoir et de claires-voies en pierres de taille découpées, et précédé d'un étang et de douves. Ce mur était percé d'une porte à pont-levis, et flanqué de cinq autres tours dont trois subsistent partiellement. La chapelle, du 16e ou 17e siècle, construite hors de l'enceinte, conserve quelques pierres tombales. En 1758, le château est incendié par les Anglais, à cause de sa résistance lors de leur débarquement à Cancale, Olivier-Joseph de France, son propriétaire et capitaine général des gardes côtes de Dol, commandait deux batteries basses qui tirèrent sur leurs navires.

History
Castle cited from the 12th century, originally consisting of four towers of the 15th century of which two still exist in part. It was surrounded by an enclosure wall surmounted by a gallery and open stonework in cut ashlar, and preceded by a pond and moats. This wall was pierced by a gate with a drawbridge, and flanked by five other towers of which three survive partially. The chapel, of the 16th or 17th century, constructed outside the enclosure, retains some tombstones. In 1758, the castle was set on fire by the English, because of its resistance during their landing at Cancale, Olivier-Joseph de France, its owner and captain general of the coast guards of Dol, commanded two low batteries which fired on their ships.
