Josselin Castle
Josselin Castle (Château de Josselin) is a medieval castle in Josselin, Morbihan, Brittany, France, originally founded about 1008 and rebuilt several times; the principal surviving fabric dates from the late 14th and 15th centuries under Olivier V de Clisson and the Rohan family. The castle stands on a rocky promontory above the valley of the Oust and remains a private residence and historic monument.

As it stood in 1500
The shape it held in its prime.
Built of local grey granite on a rocky promontory above the Oust, the castle presents a long curtain wall punctuated by multiple large cylindrical towers with conical slate roofs and small pointed turrets. The central range has a steep slate roof pierced by gabled dormer windows and a regular arrangement of mullioned openings; a continuous crenellated parapet and corbelled machicolations run along the wall. At its prime the ensemble read as a compact fortified residence combining high defensive round towers and an articulated Renaissance façade.
