Château de Marracq, Historic castle ruins in Bayonne, France.
The Château de Marracq features two remaining stone walls set against the landscape of Bayonne, marking the location of an 18th-century fortress.
Marie Anna de Neubourg, widow of Spanish King Charles II, ordered the construction of this castle in 1720 as her residence in exile.
Napoleon Bonaparte selected this castle over other residences in Bayonne for the signing of the Spanish crown transfer treaty in 1808.
Visitors can find the castle ruins at 23 Avenue Interne Jacques Loeb in Bayonne, with restoration work ongoing to prevent further deterioration.
A devastating fire in 1825 transformed this once-grand residence into its current state, with only two walls surviving the destruction.
