What is a ruin? We’re running off of “You know it when you see it” at the moment. Ruins should be non-functioning structures of some age, or their function reduced to tourism and the like.

Generally speaking, specific items from a ruin should go to [email protected]

Illustrations of ruins (or their reconstructions) should go to [email protected]

Photos of ruins back when they were functioning should go to [email protected]

I'm afraid this one doesn't have much time left, look at the dock already it's half submerged.

It's fine. It's on a rock in the mouth of a river. It's being maintained, though it doesn't seem like it's ever been at much more risk than it always has.

It's a beautifully maintained museum now. https://chateaudutaureau.bzh/en/
