About the artwork

The Château de Josselin (French: Château de Josselin) is a castle in the French commune of Josselin. The castle is a protected historical monument since 1928 and owned by the ducal family De Rohan-Chabot. Guéthenoc de Porhoët, viscount of Porhoët, Rohan and Guémené, decided to build a castle in 1008, for which he chose a rocky promontory overlooking the valley of the Oust. The new stronghold was named after Guéthénoc's son, Goscelinus. The name is mentioned in the cartulary of the abbey of Saint-Sauveur in Redon (1080) as castellum et castrum Goscelini, but around 1108 it was already called Castellum Joscelini.

In 1154 Viscount Odo of Porhoët, stepfather, guardian and regent of the young Duke Conan IV of Brittany, gathered the Breton nobles around him to deprive Conan of his heritage, but he was defeated by Henry II of England, who was also Duke of Anjou, whose protection Conan had sought. Henry had his fourth son, Godfrey, marry Conan's only child, Constance I of Brittany, and Henry and his son had the castle of Josselin pulled down in 1168 and 1175.Henry II himself led the demolition and spread salt in the ruins.

When Olivier de Clisson obtained the seigniory of Josselin in 1370, he began the construction of an imposing new stronghold with eight towers and a keep, four of which remain today.
