Chateau du Guildo | France Photo Spot
Share this Page
The Chateau du Guildo is the picturesque ruins of a medieval castle, overlooking the Arguenon estuary. Built between the 13th and 15th centuries, this fortification has seen its fair share of battles, sieges, and owners. Today, it stands as a testimony to the tumultuous past of Brittany. Photographers are drawn to this location for the rich history it represents and the varied shooting angles it offers. The ruins provide interesting architectural elements to incorporate into your frame. The castle’s elevated position allows for a panoramic view of the surrounding landscape, making it a unique and compelling spot for landscape photography as well. The best time to shoot is during the golden hours, as the low-angled light dramatically highlights the castle’s stones against the backdrop of the estuary and the sky.
