Château de Quintin

To make a day of it

Château de Quintin stands in Quintin (Côtes-d'Armor), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 17th century, fourth quarter of the 18th century). Adult admission costs 8 EUR. Its opening hours and prices were verified at the source on September 4, 2026.

In Quintin, in the Côtes-d'Armor, visitors find an estate layered with two unfinished building campaigns: a 17th century residence commissioned by the La Moussaye family and designed by Gabriel Androuet du Cerceau, and the remains of an 18th century ducal project that was never completed. Medieval ramparts, a tower known as the Tour des Archives, and a formal French garden complete the site, set on a terrace above the pond. Much of the interest lies in what was never finished: only two sides of the 17th century château remain standing, and the later building shows just a single completed corner.
