Château de Castel stands in Saint-Servant (Morbihan), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first half of the 17th century, second half of the 18th century, 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
In the southern Morbihan, the château de Castel sits within a large wooded estate overlooking the meeting point of the Oust river and a small stream. The same family, the Castels, has owned it since the fourteenth century, a rare instance of unbroken ownership. The main dwelling, built in the eighteenth century, is surrounded by older outbuildings including a dovecote with a rotating ladder, a chapel, stables and a walled garden. Traces of an early medieval motte recall the long history of the site.
