To make a day of it
Château de Tronchâteau stands in Cléguer (Morbihan), in the Bretagne region of France. No visits are on record for this building.
Tronchâteau castle stands at Cléguer, on a spur overlooking the Scorff valley. The site has been occupied since the Middle Ages, when a fortress with ramparts and towers guarded this strategic spot by the river. Ruined during the French Revolution, the old stronghold gave way to the building seen today, erected in 1812. A watermill, visible on old postcards, once stood by the neighbouring pond.
