Château de la Bretesche stands in Missillac (Loire-Atlantique), in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 17th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
The château de la Bretesche stands at Missillac, in the Loire-Atlantique department, beside a lake within a 200-hectare wooded estate on the edge of the Brière marshes. Built in the 15th century, it is now surrounded by a hotel and golf course set up in its former outbuildings, so it is mainly seen from the outside rather than visited room by room. Most people come to view the château reflected in the water and to walk through the grounds.
What to know
