Château de Tonquédec stands in Tonquédec (Côtes-d'Armor), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 16th century). Adult admission costs 8 EUR. Its opening hours and prices were verified at the source on August 4, 2026.
The eleven ruined towers of Tonquédec castle stand on a rocky spur above the Léguer river, in the Côtes-d'Armor department. Documented since the 13th century, the stronghold was destroyed in 1395 and rebuilt between 1400 and 1450, with further work continuing into the 16th century. Left abandoned, it fell into ruin during the 19th century and can now be visited for its medieval military architecture and its surrounding natural setting.
