Château de Montmuran stands in Les Iffs (Ille-et-Vilaine), in the Bretagne region of France.

Adult admission costs 6 EUR. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Standing in the parish of Les Iffs, between Rennes and Saint-Malo, Montmuran castle keeps its stone towers raised at the end of the 12th century by the lords of Tinténiac. Du Guesclin was knighted here in 1354 and married in the chapel twenty years later, before the estate passed through the Laval and Coligny families. Visitors today find a medieval keep alongside a 15th-century gatehouse and chapel, and an 18th-century residence partly rebuilt following a 19th-century fire.
