Former residence of the Barons of La Roche Bernard and center of Protestantism. The castle impresses with its romantic and fairytale side. Only the courtyard is open to the public (the interior of the castle is not accessible).

Built in the 14th century and rebuilt in the 19th century, the Château de la Bretesche stands out for its privileged location on the water's edge. Seeing it suddenly appear as you cycle along the D2 is a splendid sight.
