Fort La Latte
France

Anciennement la Roche-Gouyon, le château de Fort-la-Latte, situé à la pointe du même nom, en face du cap Fréhel dans le département des Côtes-d'Armor, est l'un des plus célèbres châteaux bretons. Remarquable par sa situation sur un cap rocheux, face à la mer, il a servi de décor à de nombreux films. Il fait l'objet d'un classement au titre des monuments historiques depuis août 1925. Le leitmotiv de l'ancien site web du château était : "Me zo ganet e-kreiz ar mor" ("je suis né au milieu de la mer" en breton). Le château de la Roche-Gouyon fut construit au XIVe siècle par le seigneur de Matignon, Étienne III Gouyon. La construction du château commença dans les années 1340, son donjon date des années 1365-1370. En 1379, suite au retour d'exil du duc de Bretagne Jean IV, le château fut assiégé par Bertrand Du Guesclin. Le château est attaqué et pris une seconde fois lors des guerres de Religion au XVIe siècle, cette défaite marquant un temps d'abandon de l'édifice. Ce n'est qu'au XVIIIe siècle, sous Louis XIV, que le château reprend son intérêt stratégique et est bastionné. Il servira jusqu'à la fin du Premier Empire où l'évolution des techniques militaires conduisit à son inadaptabilité. À partir de 1892, il fut vendu à divers propriétaires privés avant d'être acheté par un passionné en 1931 qui entreprit de lourds travaux de restauration qui s'achevèrent dans les années 1950.
