Boutavent Castle

The ruins of the castle, built in the Middle Ages, are on a natural rocky spur at the place name Boutavent.

The castle is structured into two classical elements: a courtyard and a barnyard, separated by a deep gap.

Maybe it has been dismantled during the War of succession (second half of the 14th century) or in 1373, during the campaign of Bertrand du Guesclin in Brittany, but nothing proves that the castle hasn't been inhabited then.

Many local authors of the 19th century wrote about Boutavent, in particular writers like Poignand, Vigoland or Oresve.

During these campaigns, archaeological material has been found (slate, ceramic, ground pavement and glazed tiles).
