En un regard
Le château en bref
In the heart of the countryside of Malguénac, near Pontivy, Lesturgant Castle is a residence in the Louis XIII style whose character owes much to its setting. It indeed overlooks a vast terrace some sixty metres long, dating from 1570, which is reached by two straight flights of steps joined by a balustrade.
Near the entrance stands a hexagonal dovecote built in 1697. Constructed of dressed stone and roofed with granite, it houses a spherical vault with jointed voussoirs, open at its summit and surmounted by a polygonal lantern; inside, a central wooden pivot carried the rotating ladder used to reach the nests. This type of building, a seigneurial privilege under the Ancien Régime, bears witness to the rank of the estate.
The terrace and the dovecote have been listed as historic monuments since 20 June 1944. The castle is privately owned.
