Château de Lupin stands in Saint-Coulomb (Ille-et-Vilaine), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 17th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
The château de Lupin is a malouinière manor built in the late 17th century in the commune of Saint-Coulomb, in Ille-et-Vilaine, on the site of a 15th-century fortified house that once served as seat of one of the bailiwicks of the Plessis-Bertrand estate. The approach follows a rabine, the tree-lined avenue typical of these manors near Saint-Malo, leading to grounds laid out as a French-style garden with a chapel and a dovecote. Inside, the main house retains a wooden staircase with heavy balusters and exposed beam ceilings, while a wrought-iron gate from the 18th century stands at the entrance.
