Chapel of Châteaugiron Castle

En un regard

Le château en bref

The chapel forms part of the enclosure of Châteaugiron Castle, a stronghold on the eastern marches of Brittany overlooking the Yaigne valley. Its apse, the oldest surviving part of the castle, dates from the 12th century, and the chapel was remodelled in the 14th, 16th and 18th centuries. It forms part of a complex that includes the keep of the 13th–14th centuries, the tour du Cardinal and the tour de l'Horloge (late 14th century), the tour du Guet (15th century) and residential buildings of the 18th century. The apse has been listed as a Monument Historique since 1931, while the rest of the castle was listed for its façades and roofs in 1993. Owned by the commune, the castle houses the town hall; the restored chapel has become the contemporary art centre Les 3 CHA, whose restoration earned the town the Rubans du Patrimoine award in 2016.
