Château de la Sauldraye stands in Plumelec (Morbihan), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
In Plumelec, in the Morbihan countryside, the château de la Sauldraye stands within a small hamlet rather than in the town centre. The estate combines 16th-century remains, from the period when it was built for Jehan de Callac, with a 19th-century reconstruction raised on the original foundations. Visitors mainly notice a rounded gateway and postern topped with decorative machicolations, along with a facade carved with figures, animals and family coats of arms.
