Château de Cranhac stands in Peillac (Morbihan), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument. Adult admission costs 30 EUR. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
The ruins of the Cranhac castle stand on a rise overlooking the Oust river, near the hamlet of the same name in the commune of Peillac. Built during the Middle Ages, likely in the 14th century, it was the seat of a lordship holding high justice rights before being destroyed during the Wars of the League. Stripped of its stones to rebuild the village in the 18th century, the site now preserves only scattered remains, though it retains a recognised scenic value.
