Château de Combourg

Bretagne · Frankrike · Castle

Château de Combourg in Brittany was the childhood home of the writer Chateaubriand, who himself described the castle's ghost in his memoirs. Legend has it that a former Count of Combourg with a wooden leg climbs the staircase of the Cat Tower at night, accompanied by a black cat. During renovations in the 1870s a cat skeleton was in fact found walled into the masonry — a medieval protective offering now on display for visitors. The castle, steeped in gloomy romanticism, is open for guided tours.
