Château du Lau, Medieval castle in Duhort-Bachen, France

The castle combines brick and stone construction in Flemish architectural style, featuring defensive elements including moats, ramparts, and a former drawbridge system.

Antoine de Castelnau-Tursan, chamberlain to King Louis XI, built the castle in the 15th century on the foundation of a 14th-century defensive site.

The castle remains under the ownership of the same family since its construction, preserving centuries of regional aristocratic heritage within its walls.

Visitors can explore the castle through guided tours in French, lasting 60 minutes, with groups between 10 and 40 people accommodated.

The eastern wing preserves its 15th-century structure, while the southern section underwent modifications in the 19th century, displaying architectural evolution.
