Welcome to the château de Josselin

The château of Josselin, the residence of the Rohan family since the Middle Ages, is one of the most famous castles in Brittany. The estate is inhabited but open to visitors! Its discovery offers a true journey through time, with its medieval remains, including its three defensive towers overlooking the Nantes-Brest canal, its flamboyant Gothic sculpted granite facade, and its fully restored interiors from the late 19th century. Surrounding the castle, a landscaped garden of more than three hectares awaits visitors, with its rose garden featuring forty varieties, its French-style garden, and its English park crossed by a stream. The visit to the estate concludes with a visit to the Doll and Toy Museum, located in the former stables.
