Le château en bref
Locqueltas Fort, on Ushant (Finistère), is a coastal artillery battery with a crenellated guardhouse. A guard post and a powder magazine existed there as early as 1820; the 1842 cadastral survey records it under the toponym "Roc'h Cloum". On 7 November 1844 the Comité des fortifications recommended arming it with four 30-pounder guns and 22 cm howitzers; classed as second-order in 1858, it received two 30-pounder guns and two howitzers. A crenellated guardhouse for 20 men was built in 1862 (a date carved above the entrance). Rendered obsolete by rifled artillery, it was reused by the German occupying forces during the Second World War.
