Castle of Penhoat

Monument in Saint-Thégonnec Loc-Eguiner

The Château de Penhoat is located in the town of Saint-Thégonnec-Loc-Eguiner, a few kilometers south-west of Morlaix, in Finistère.

Built between the 13th and 15th centuries, the estate now in ruins belonged to the Penhoatet family. It was the seat of a powerful seigneury covering no less than eight parishes and which was erected into a barony.

Several members of the family held high positions until the 16th century (there is a chamberlain of the Duke of Brittany and an admiral).

Built from 1248 by Guillaume de Penhoat on his return from the Crusade, the castle controlled the road linking Morlaix to Lesneven and its owners owned up to 20 smallholdings, mills, fishponds...

The castle of Penhoat was demolished in 1590 during the insurrections led by the Catholic party of the League which did not accept that King Henry IV seemed to accept the establishment of a Protestant current in the kingdom.

The heirs decided not to rebuild the estate. On the site, now, the remains of the main enclosure are still visible, which had round towers, lodgings and the "farmyard" which housed the outbuildings.

Free visit or guided tour from April to October. Information on +33 2 98 79 67 80.
