Hotel Excavation Reveals Medieval Castle with Moat and Stones

Archaeologists in Vannes, Brittany, France, have made a remarkable discovery: the well-preserved remains of a castle beneath the Hôtel Lagorce, a private mansion.

The excavation, conducted as part of preparations for the construction of the future Museum of Fine Arts of the City of Vannes, revealed the surprising extent and condition of the medieval structure.

The castle, believed to be the Château de l’Hermine, dates back to the late 14th century and was abandoned in the 17th century.

It was part of a significant expansion of Vannes initiated by the Duke of Brittany, the Good News Network reported.
