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.
