Château de Gaujacq, Renaissance château in Gaujacq, France

The Château de Gaujacq stands on the hills of Chalosse, featuring a single-story layout surrounding a garden and an Italian-style gallery.

François de Sourdis, lieutenant-general of King Louis XIV's armies, commissioned the construction of this château in 1686 following Italian palace designs.

The interior spaces contain original 17th and 18th-century furniture, decorated rooms with wooden panels, and painted wall elements reflecting French nobility traditions.

Visitors can explore the château from July 15 to August 31, with tours available daily between 10:30-12:30 and 14:30-18:30, admission costs 10 euros for adults.

The château incorporates an unconventional single-level design around a central garden, differentiating it from typical multi-story French castles of its period.
