Built just before the First World War, the Château du Dourdy was initially planned to house an orphanage school. It ultimately accommodated a war hospital, apprentice sailors, and the bridge petty officer school, becoming in the 1960s a holiday club village managed by the Brittany Family Allowance Fund.

Built shortly before the First World War, the Château du Dourdy was originally intended to house an orphanage school. It eventually housed a war hospital, apprentice sailors, and the Bridge NCO School. In the 1960s, it became a holiday club village managed by the Brittany Family Allowance Fund.
Today, it stands empty.
