Thanks to its half-timbered houses, its stone facades and its sculptures, Malestroit is labeled “city of character”.

A thousand-year-old village, Malestroit still houses houses from the 15th and 16th centuries as well as locks, mills and churches full of stories.

Beautiful small town with stone and half-timbered houses worth seeing.
The founding of Malestroit dates back to 987, when monks settled on the banks of the Oust. The place became a stage destination on the Way of St. James, one of the pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela. In 1131 the place was mentioned under the name Malestricum. During the Hundred Years' War in 1343 in the chapel de la Madeleine in Malestroit by the French king Philip VI. and the English King Edward III. signed a ceasefire. At the end of the Middle Ages, Malestroit became one of the nine baronies of Brittany. At the beginning of the 19th century, Napoleon I commissioned the construction of the Canal de Nantes à Brest, initially for military reasons, but later also with the aim of connecting the interior of Brittany to commercial goods traffic.
