En un regard
Le château en bref
Montmarin Castle was built in 1760 by Aaron Magon du Bosc. It is located in the commune of Pleurtuit, in Ille-et-Vilaine, not far from Saint-Malo.
However, Montmarin does not conform to the classic model of the malouinière: its architecture, with its main building rising very high above the roofline on the courtyard side and its inverted-keel roofs on the garden side, does not link it to this category of local architecture, which is the country transposition of the town houses (hôtels) of intra-muros Saint-Malo, characterised by an austere façade, tall chimneys with shoulders, and a high, steeply pitched hipped roof.
The château overlooks the estuary of the Rance.
