Château de Crénan stands in Le Fœil (Côtes-d'Armor), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 16th century, 17th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

In Le Fœil, in the Côtes-d'Armor, the ruins of the Château de Crénan preserve the memory of a Breton manor built between the late 15th and early 17th centuries, reduced to remnants after a fire in 1927. Visitors can still see a stair tower decorated with Breton machicolations, an ogee-arched doorway and dormer windows carved with lions, rare surviving traces of medieval civil architecture in the area. An 18th century chapel completes the listed site.
