About Château du Guildo
On the estuary of the Arguenon in the Côtes-d'Armor, the ruins of the Château du Guildo rise picturesquely above the water, an evocative medieval fortress whose walls and towers recall the turbulent history of the Breton march. Dating in origin to the Middle Ages and once an important stronghold on the frontier between Brittany and Normandy, the castle was fought over during the wars of the duchy and eventually fell into ruin. Its atmospheric remains, set amid the tidal beauty of the estuary near the Emerald Coast, are the subject of ongoing study and offer fine views over the water. Romantic, historic and beautifully sited beside the estuary, the Château du Guildo is an evocative medieval ruin on the northern coast of Brittany, a rewarding stop for lovers of history and coastal scenery near the beaches of the Côte d'Émeraude.
