Château du Guildo stands in Créhen (Côtes-d'Armor), in the Bretagne region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 14th century). Admission is free. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Perched on a rocky spur above the Arguenon estuary, the ruins of the Château du Guildo bear witness to nearly three centuries of seigneurial occupation, from the late Middle Ages to the Renaissance. Now owned by the Côtes-d'Armor department, the site has yielded archaeological remains of successive residential buildings, outbuildings and even fragments of medieval wall paintings. Visitors come here less for a restored monument than for a landscape and ruins that reflect a long and interrupted history, marked by destruction in the 14th century followed by reconstruction.
