The Ghostly Gothic Ruins of Château de Rustéphan, France

The Château de Rustéphan was built in 1420 by Jean du Faou, chamberlain of France and grand seneschal of Brittany. This 15th–16th-century manor-house now stands as a monument historique, reaching a height of 20 meters, and stands surrounded by ivy, brambles, and weeds. The section on the left, the gable wall, contains a corner turret, immense hooded fireplaces, and the remnants of some stone cross-pieced windows. The section on the right houses the staircase tower and remnants of internal walls, the entrance vestibule, and more.

The main entry door is topped by a Gothic arch. It is believed that the manor house once consisted of a rectangular corps de logis and had turrets at each of the corners, as well as a large central staircase tower. The Château de Rustéphan, located in Nizon, a commune in France's Finistère department, is not only a historical monument, but also home to a tragic love story.
