Now a bivouac and military exercise area, the Bois du Loup site and its castle alone reflect the eventful history of the military camp on the Coëtquidan moors.\n- Located in the commune of Augan, the castle of Bois du Loup (2nd of the name) was built from 1871 to 1874 by the owner of the place: Count Roland des Clos de la Fonchais (Birth: 06/10/1821 - Marriage: 27/05/1860 - Death: 20/05/1898).\n- His father : Adolphe des Clos de la Fonchais, captain in the 21st regiment of the line, whose family, originally from Bavaria, had settled in Brittany in the 16th century, had bought the estate of Bois du Loup in 1805.\n- (Work began exactly two years before the military camp was set up).\nThe castle was destroyed by the Americans during their stay at the Coëtquidan camp from January to June 1945.\nThe massive machine-gunning of the façade and the deliberate bombing of the south-east tower (which later collapsed and whose granite stones were used to reinforce the dyke of the Prée-neuve pond), were the subject of a film. This anti-Nazi propaganda film was shown in the schools of Ploërmel and beyond to raise awareness about the alleged German exactions in the region in general and on the local heritage in particular, during the occupation of the camp.

Dunluce Castle is a now-ruined medieval castle in Northern Ireland, the seat of Clan MacDonnell. It is located on the edge of a basalt outcropping in County Antrim (between Portballintrae and Portrush), and is accessible via a bridge connecting it to the mainland. The castle is surrounded by extremely steep drops on either side, which may have been an important factor to the early Christians and Vikings who were drawn to this place where an early Irish fort once stood.
