Château de Lesturgant stands in Malguénac (Morbihan), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: third quarter of the 16th century, fourth quarter of the 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

The château de Lesturgant stands in Malguénac, in the Morbihan region, on a terrace laid out in 1570 in a Louis XIII style. Two straight flights of stairs, one at each end, are linked by a long stone balustrade stretching some sixty metres. At the entrance to the former château stands a hexagonal dovecote dating from 1697, notable for its granite slab roof laid in overlapping steps and its polygonal lantern. Inside, the dovecote still holds the wooden pivot that once carried the access ladder to the nesting holes.
