Château de Suscinio stands in Sarzeau (Morbihan), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 13th century, second half of the 14th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

On the edge of the Atlantic, in the Rhuys peninsula, Suscinio castle was once a favourite residence of the Dukes of Brittany before becoming a fortress. Founded around 1218 as a hunting lodge at the edge of a forest, it grew over the centuries into a fortified complex with a moat, ramparts and watchtowers. Fragments of 14th century glazed floor tiles, uncovered during excavations, bear witness to the former splendour of this ducal home.
