Originally built by the residents and traders of Morlaix to protect the town from the English in 1544, the Château du Taureau has changed its purpose several times during its lifetime. In the 18th century it was fortified by Vauban and expanded to accommodate the officers and soldiers stationed here. In 1721 it became a prison which was decommissioned in 1890 and it has since been used as a summer residence and a sailing school before being restored in 2006 and opened to the public. Today, you can walk around the battlements, discover the officers quarters, and admire the stunning views all around the bay. Guided tours and themed tours are available in French but there are bilingual signs around the château in French and English.
