Château Turpault stands in Quiberon (Morbihan), in the Bretagne region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

Standing on the Beg-er-Lann point, on the southwest side of Quiberon's Côte Sauvage, this château nicknamed the 'castle of the sea' overlooks the ocean in an unusual Anglo-medieval style for Brittany. It was built in the early 20th century for Georges Turpault, a textile manufacturer from Cholet, who wanted a residence facing the waves. The bunkers left behind by the German occupation during the Second World War are a reminder of the building's history before it was restored by later owners.
