The Château de Brest, or Castle of Brest, is a castle in Brest, Finistère, Brittany, France. Situated at the mouth of the river Penfeld at the heart of the roadstead of Brest, one of the largest roadsteads in the world, it has held its original role as a military fortress and strategic location for over 1700 years. Classified as a monument historique on 21 March 1923, the Château de Brest's heterogeneous architecture has been the result of continual adaptations to the changes in siege warfare and armament. The château stands on the opposite bank to the Tour Tanguy, combining to defend the entrance to the Penfeld.
