The castle is on the road of Paimpont-Campénéac. It is one of the most beautiful castles of Brocéliande. The oldest parts of the present castle are dated from the 15th century. The castle and its chapel have been classified Historical Monuments since 1922. The castle is at the origin of several legends like the most famous which is the legend of the White Lady. "The White Lady" is a young lady who was buried alive near the castle of Trecesson, at the bottom of an old oak. A poacher who saw the scene, waited the dawn to save the young girl. She died instantly. The Chatelaine of Trecesson, very affected by this tragedy, buried the body of the young stranger. Her crown and her nuptial veil stayed for a long time on the altar of the chapel. Many young girls ready to get married came to touch them to find a husband.
The Château de Trécesson is a medieval castle in the Brittany region of France. It is located in the commune of Campénéac near the Paimpont forest and on the edge of the military camp of Coëtquidan. It is a private property. It has been listed since 2012 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.
