Castles in Brittany: Château de Vaurouault

Le Vaurouault, Fréhel

Château de Vaurouault is located to the south of the municipality of Fréhel and to the left of the coastal river Frémur, which flows north into the English Channel. With its granite construction and slate roof, the Château is a typical 17th century Breton castle. It was built at the turn of the Renaissance and early Baroque periods by the architect Simon Garengeau for the Captain General of the Matignon Coastguard and Governor of Fort-la-Latte.

The complex has an L-shaped ground plan, consisting of a castle and farm building, to which a long avenue leads. A round-arched gate with a triangular pediment leads to the courtyard, to the right of which is a small single-nave chapel. The main building with nine window axes has short side wings on the north side, which are closed off at one corner by square tower extensions. The representative first floor impresses with an enfilade and a central spiral staircase with forged railings.

To the east, the property is bordered by an enclosing wall with decorative sloops, behind which are the remains of a French garden. Currently it is privately used and can only be viewed from the outside to a limited extent.
