Château d'Urtubie, Medieval castle in Urrugne, France
The castle features defensive walls, a donjon with four towers, and contains six centuries of architectural elements spanning different historical periods.
King Edward III of England authorized Martin de Tartas to construct this stronghold in 1341, as no other fortification existed within three leagues.
The interior holds tapestries from the 16th century, European ceramics, and a chapel with a wooden roof shaped like a ship's hull.
The castle opens daily from April to October, offering guided tours, treasure hunts, and wooden games in its 6-hectare park.
Twenty-three generations of the same family have maintained ownership of this castle since its construction, with the Coral family acquiring it in 1893.
