This week in the agenda

Château de Josselin stands in Josselin (Morbihan), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: Middle Ages, 16th century). Its opening hours and prices were verified at the source on August 4, 2026.

Perched on a rocky spur above the Oust river, Josselin castle displays a carved granite Renaissance façade that contrasts with the defensive towers facing the water. Home to the Rohan family since the fifteenth century, the site bears the marks of a turbulent past, from medieval sieges to the demolitions ordered by Richelieu. Visitors can explore a seigneurial residence still lived in today, whose decoration reflects artistic exchanges between Brittany and late fifteenth-century Italy.
