Vieux Château, Medieval castle in Mauléon-Licharre, France
The castle stands on elevated ground with three corner towers, stone walls, and a three-arched bridge spanning across a defensive moat.
Originally constructed in 1261, the fortress remained under English control until Gaston IV of Foix reclaimed it for France in 1449.
The castle exhibits a combination of dressed stone in its lower sections and roughly cut stone in the upper parts of its towers.
The entrance fee is 3 euros for adults and 2 euros for children, with guided tours available by appointment for groups between 20 and 50 people.
A 29-meter deep well remains within the castle courtyard, along with narrow passages leading to ancient dungeons beneath the structure.
