Château de la Touche-à-la-Vache stands in Créhen (Côtes-d'Armor), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.
At Créhen, in the Côtes-d'Armor, the Touche-à-la-Vache combines the remains of a 15th-century square keep with a later main house still used as a working farm. The rectangular courtyard, closed to the west by a two-door gateway, gives a sense of how a small manorial estate in Brittany was laid out. Notably, one of the outbuildings carries a roof finial shaped like a headless horseman, made in the pottery workshops near Lamballe. The site remains a working farm above all, which limits how closely visitors can approach it.
