The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Cette forteresse a été construite à la fin du 15e siècle sur un plan en V dont il subsiste une aile, remaniée du 17e au 19e siècle. La tour du châtelet est, une partie de celle du châtelet nord et le mur de courtine sont d'origine. Les interventions du deuxième quart du 19e siècle illustrent l'un des plus anciens programmes de remaniement de châteaux au cours du 19e siècle en Bretagne. L'édifice est un témoin de l'une des grandes forteresses de Bretagne. Il témoigne également de l'évolution de l'habitation de la noblesse au cours des 17e, 18e et 19e siècles.

This fortress was built at the end of the 15th century on a V-shaped plan, of which one wing survives, remodelled from the 17th to the 19th century. The châtelet tower is, part of the northern châtelet tower and the curtain wall are original. The interventions of the second quarter of the 19th century illustrate one of the oldest programmes of remodelling of châteaux during the 19th century in Brittany. The building is a witness to one of the great fortresses of Brittany. It also testifies to the evolution of the dwelling of the nobility during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.
