Château de Ruat, Protected castle in Le Teich, France
The Château de Ruat features a stone facade with multiple architectural elements, including windows, roofs, and a circular tower with machicolations.
The castle served as a defensive structure between Château de Teste and Château de Certes, protecting the Bassin d'Arcachon region from the 13th century.
The property gained monument historique inscrit status in 1970, recognizing its architectural value through the protection of specific facade elements and roofing.
Access to the interior and grounds remains limited to special heritage events, particularly during the annual Journées du Patrimoine celebrations.
The castle maintains connections to Napoleon III through General Charles Espinasse, who initiated the construction of Lamothe station for imperial visits.
