34 châteaux listed · verified entries first, then the most visited; alphabetical index at the bottom of the page

Of the 157 castles we list in Finistère, these 34 have a building campaign from this period, according to the French Ministry of Culture's records.

We record 34 castles, manor houses and strongholds from the Middle Ages, spread across 30 towns and villages. The ones with the most visitor reviews are Ancien évêché, actuellement musée départemental breton (open to visitors), Château de Lanniron (Lanniron Castle) (on the historic monuments register), Château de La Roche-Maurice (Roche-Maurice Castle) (free entry), Château de Brest (Brest Castle) (a listed historic monument) and Château de Penhoat (Penhoat Castle) (112 reviews).

10 of them receive visitors, according to their official website or their business listing. We have checked the opening hours of 8 and the prices of 5 of them, and each entry shows the date of that check. 7 of them are listed historic monuments, the highest level of protection in French heritage law. The dominant period is the Middle Ages, with 34 buildings. Each entry says what we could verify and what still needs confirming: enough to plan a day that holds together.
