Maison carrée de Nay, Historical monument in central Nay, France.

The Maison carrée de Nay features cut stone walls with precise mathematical proportions, where the height equals the length of the facade.

Built in the second half of the 16th century by merchant Pedro Sacaze, who gained wealth through Spanish trade, the house was temporarily seized by Jeanne d'Albret.

The building now functions as a museum showcasing collections related to local industry, agriculture, and pastoral life in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques region.

Visitors can explore both permanent and temporary exhibitions throughout the year, with occasional closures that should be verified on the official website.

The house derives its name from its exact mathematical proportions and square-shaped portico openings, which stand out in regional architecture.
