Comments

It is one of the peaks of the Rohan triangle4 (three major fortresses: La Chèze, Josselin and Pontivy), whose center is the village of Rohan, the nominal fief of the House of Rohan, whose castle has been abandoned in favor of the other three.
Since its construction, the château has been the residence of the Dukes of Rohan. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%C3%A2teau_de_Josselin
