Château de Talhouët stands in Pluherlin (Morbihan), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 16th century, 17th century, 19th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Talhouët Castle, located in Pluherlin in Morbihan, is a residence that underwent several construction phases from the 16th to 19th centuries. Its current core dates from 1580-1582, when a new L-shaped dwelling was built, followed by extensions in the 17th and 19th centuries. The ensemble, enriched by a Renaissance chapel from the early 17th century, preserves architectural features from these different periods: granite credenza and doorway, stone staircase, woodwork and painted decor from the 19th century.

What to know

A medieval stronghold dating from the 14th-15th centuries preceded the present residence and was destroyed in the late 19th century.
