Château de Tonquédec The Château de Tonquédec is a castle in Brittany , France , and one of the most visited monuments in the " département " of the Côtes d ' Armor . One of the most impressive French medieval sites , this " château - fort " , stands in a pleasant green forested countryside about south of Lannion .

From the height of a rocky cliff , the castle ruins , with its eleven towers and a closed curtain wall , dominates the valley of the Léguer . It is a genuine vestige of feudal Brittany . The 12th - century castle was the work of the Coëtmen - Penthièvre family . It was partially dismantled by order of Jean IV , Duke of Brittany , in 1395 because of a conflict between him and the Penthièvres . Indeed , Rolland II and Rolland III of Coëtmen , Viscounts of Tonquédec , had allied themselves to the rebellion of Olivier de Clisson . Reconstruction began in 1406 by Rolland IV of Coëtmen . The castle subsequently changed owners several times , before becoming an artillery base in 1577 . At this time , the owning family ( Goyon de La Moussaye ) , being Protestant , was therefore in disagreement with the king , Henri IV . During the War of the League , the castle was a hiding place for Huguenots . It was finally dismantled around 1622 on the orders of the powerful Cardinal Richelieu . The castle currently belongs to descendants of the original builders ( House of Coëtmen - Penthièvre ) : Count and Countess Bertrand de Rougé . Since 1862 , it has been listed as a " monument historique " by the French Ministry of Culture . Visiting the castle . The entrance gate leads to an outer fortified courtyard or " basse - cour " .

" The ruins may be visited from April to October . They may be hired for location filming , photo shoots and other events . See also . List of castles in France

Bremer wall A Bremer wall , or T - wall , is a twelve - foot - high ( 3 . 7 m ) portable , steel - reinforced concrete wall of the type used for blast protection throughout Iraq and Afghanistan . The name is believed to have originated from L . Paul Bremer of the Coalition Provisional Authority , who was the Director of Reconstruction and Humanitarian Assistance for post - war Iraq following the Iraq War of 2003 in the early years of the Iraq War . The Bremer barrier resembles the smaller 3 - foot ( 1 m ) tall Jersey barrier , which is used widely for vehicle traffic control on coalition military bases in Iraq and Afghanistan . To indicate that the Bremer barrier is similar but larger , the tall intermediate - sized Bremer barriers are usually referred to as Texas barriers ( but not to be confused with the 3½ foot ( 1 . 1 m ) Texas constant slope barrier ) . By this same naming convention , the largest barriers , which stand around 6 metres ( 20 ft ) tall , are called Alaska Barriers . Unlike the Jersey barrier which has sloped - sides at the base , some Texas and Alaska barriers have a rectangular ledge ( usable as a bench for sitting or resting ) which is approximately knee high for a typical adult . Alaska barriers are typically used as perimeter fortifications of well - established bases in Iraq and Afghanistan . These T - shaped walls were originally developed by the Israelis in the Israeli West Bank barrier . The term " T - wall " is commonly used by soldiers throughout Iraq and Afghanistan , due to their cross - sectional shape resembling an inverted letter T . In 2011 a series of Bremer walls have been used to form a memorial wall for fallen US soldiers . The concrete is painted black with names in yellow . The wall ' s design is based on the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington , DC .
