Château du Tauzia, Medieval castle in Maignaut-Tauzia, France.

The castle ruins stand on a hill 1 kilometer west of the village, featuring a rectangular structure with two distinctive towers.

First documented in 1362 under Menaud de Barbazan's ownership, the castle transferred to Jean de Marestang in 1479 for two centuries.

The architectural modifications in the 16th century demonstrate style evolution, replacing arrow slits with mullioned windows.

Interior access is restricted due to safety concerns, but external observation remains possible with owner permission.

The main tower contains multiple cruciform arrow slits and a high bretèche, typical of 13th-century Gascon fortifications.
