Château de la Trave, Medieval castle in Préchac, France.

The Château de la Trave features a rectangular enclosure reinforced by square corner towers and contains a northwestern courtyard surrounded by walls.

Construction of the fortress began in 1306, serving as a military stronghold until its partial destruction near the end of the 16th century.

The castle received official recognition as a French historical monument through a formal registration decree issued on December 22, 1987.

Visitors should contact local tourism offices before planning their visit as the castle remains under private ownership with restricted access.

The castle's architectural elements demonstrate the evolution of military construction techniques from the 14th century in the Gironde region.
