Chateau de Quintin

Located in the heart of the charming town of Quintin, the Château de Quintin boasts a fascinating architectural feature: it comprises two castles within the same park. The first, an imposing 18th-century structure left unfinished, stands alongside an older 17th-century residence. This estate, which has remained in the same family since its founding, has survived centuries and wars, offering a unique glimpse into aristocratic life in central Brittany, from the austerity of its granite facades to the refinement of its interiors. A visit allows you to discover elegant reception rooms, perfectly preserved period kitchens, and a remarkable collection of tableware. The château is also renowned for its themed exhibitions, notably the one dedicated to Quintin lace, recalling the time when the town was a major center of the linen trade in Europe. The carefully restored French-style gardens extend at the foot of the monumental facades, offering a classical perspective that contrasts with the wild character of the surrounding Breton lands.
