Fort du Hâ, Medieval castle in Bordeaux, France
Fort du Hâ comprises two remaining towers integrated within the current National School of Magistracy and Palace of Justice complex in Bordeaux.
King Charles VII ordered the construction of this fortress in 1456 after recapturing Bordeaux from English control during the Hundred Years War.
The fortress transformed from a military stronghold to a state prison during the French Revolution, marking significant changes in French governmental institutions.
The fort remains can be visited during European Heritage Days through guided tours organized by the Bordeaux Tourism Office.
The structure served as a refuge for Protestants during the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre of October 1572, protecting them from religious persecution.
