Built at the beginning of the 16th century, the magnificent Herm Castle, in Gothic style, is today in ruins. It has been under renovation since 2020, after being abandoned for years. A titanic construction site, which can be visited on request or during the European Heritage Days and the Châteaux en Fête event. Contact: chateaudelherm@gmail.com or 06 07 08 03 54
