Château d'Amou, Classical castle in Amou, France.
Château d'Amou is a classical castle in Amou featuring symmetrical stone facades, wrought iron gates, and a central courtyard. The grounds include formal gardens that frame the main building and define the property's layout.
The castle was built in the 17th century and is registered as a historical monument. An accomplished architect contributed to its design and was also involved in significant royal building projects of the era.
The castle displays classical French design through its balanced proportions and formal gardens that shape the landscape today. The stone construction and carefully arranged grounds speak to the craftsmanship of the period.
The building sits between Dax and Pau and is accessed through a tree-lined avenue from the village. The property is used today for private events and ceremonies.
The square courtyard was designed to accommodate large gatherings while preserving the original architectural elements. This solution shows how thoughtfully the spaces were arranged for flexible use over time.
