The château de la Hunaudaye is a genuine medieval defensive fortress, a château fort, complete with thick walls, a drawbridge and a moat. It's now owned by the Conseil Général of the Côtes d'Armor, and you can visit it.
It's not been restored, but there has been a neat project of computer modelling, based on surveillance of the ruins using a drone, that has resulted in a detailed presentation (and physical model) that you can see.
There is a handy leaftlet that guides you around the castle, and explains what you are looking at, and its historical significance. And where the old staircase was unuseable, a fancy metal one, that I rather liked, has been installed.
Well worth the visit.

Is it safe in there?
Marvellous!
The computer depiction via a drone makes my fingers itch to get around Bodiam Castle, just a few miles down the road from here!
What a fabulous building!
It looks spectacular.
