The Château-Gaillard is a French hôtel particulier and an archaeological museum, built in the late Middle Ages in Vannes.
Originally built as an administrative building for cardinal Jean de Malestroit, construction of the hotel was completed in 1410. The building was owned by several owners throughout its history, however, in 1912 the building was bought by historical society Société polymathique du Morbihan to house a new museum. On September 22, 1914, President of France Raymond Poincaré officially opened the museum's new collections. The building was federally protected by the Minister of Culture in 1913.
