Château du Bois de la Salle stands in Pléguien (Côtes-d'Armor), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 18th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The château du Bois de la Salle stands in Pléguien, in the Côtes-d'Armor, at the end of an oak-lined avenue deliberately set off-axis so the building only comes into full view at the last moment. The present buildings, main house, chapel, dovecote and orangery, mostly date from the first quarter of the 18th century, when the Méhérenc de Saint-Pierre family reshaped the older noble house they had inherited through marriage. The chapel still holds an altar and statues carved by Corlay, while the lantern-roofed dovecote continues to shelter nesting pigeons. The estate remains a private family home, which shapes how it can be experienced today.

What to know

The château is a private family residence that is still lived in, which limits access to the main house itself.
The renovated orangery is used as a reception venue for private events rather than as a visitor space.
The chapel holds statues and an altar carved by Corlay, along with a painting damaged during the Revolution.
The slate-roofed, lantern-topped dovecote has a central ladder allowing a view of the nesting boxes.
The whole complex, including outbuildings, chapel, dovecote, orangery, courtyard and garden, has been a listed historic monument since 1993.
