Château de Kercadio stands in Erdeven (Morbihan), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 15th century, 16th century, 18th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Kercadio castle, in Erdeven in the Morbihan region, combines a late 15th century fortified residential tower, one of the last of its kind built in Brittany, with an 18th century main building designed with classical symmetry in mind. The enclosed courtyard brings together several periods: the ruined medieval keep, the remains of a chapel, and outbuildings arranged at right angles. It is this contrast between feudal remnants and Enlightenment-era elegance that draws visitors' interest.
