Château de Brignac stands in Saint-Guyomard (Morbihan), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
In Saint-Guyomard, in the Morbihan department, the château de Brignac brings together several centuries of building work around a fifteenth-century tower that forms the heart of the estate. The tower's spiral staircase is reached through a carved doorway bearing a 1509 inscription naming P. de Brignac and Pétronille de Robien. Inside, three stacked rooms hold monumental granite fireplaces, the finest of them on the first floor. A chapel, outbuildings and a park complete a property built between the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries.
