Josselin Castle

About

Josselin Castle is located in the French commune of Josselin in the Morbihan department of Brittany. Made between 1490 and 1505 with many elements from the Louis XII style, it has been classified as historical monuments since 21 August 1928. It is one of the points of the Rohan triangle (three large fortresses La Chèze, Josselin and Pontivy) which has as its center the village of Rohan, the nominal fief of the house of Rohan whose castle is abandoned for the benefit of the other three. The castle is since its construction the residence of the Dukes of Rohan.
