Château de Vaucouleurs stands in Trélivan (Côtes-d'Armor), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: Fin du Middle Ages). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

In Trélivan, in the Côtes-d'Armor, what remains of the château de Vaucouleurs is a projecting tower with a moulded round-arched doorway, along with a dovecote and portal remains. First recorded in 1248, the building was rebuilt in the 16th century before being partly dismantled around 1770 to supply stone for another château. Visitors come mainly for the tower itself and the surviving fragments of a residence whose chimneys and dormers echo military architecture.
