Château de St Malo

Called the Bastille of the West, the Chateau was first the symbol of ducal power and then Royal power. It has barrack facades, now the town hall, a reservoir, a large keep and a castelet. Its towers house the Musée de l''Histoire de St Malo. The museum offers exhibits covering St. Malo''s historic past, with maps, diagrams and dioramas documenting a history incorporating piracy, colonialism, slave trading, and more recently, German occupation during World War II.
