Château de Rimaison stands in Pluméliau-Bieuzy (Morbihan), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Perched on a height above the Blavet river, the Château de Rimaison survives only as ruins dating from the 16th century, sold off as national property during the Revolution and later stripped of much of their stone. What remains includes the facade of a vestibule with two arches, part of a residence once adorned with a Renaissance turret. Visitors drawn to abandoned sites and local history will find a place still largely in a state of ruin, away from usual tourist routes.
