Château de Terraube, Medieval castle in Terraube, France.

The stone castle features a grand staircase leading to an entrance adorned with carved motifs, animals, gargoyles, and family coats of arms.

Built in 1272 for the de Galard family, descendants of Merovingian dukes of Gascony, the castle underwent major modifications between the 16th and 18th centuries.

The castle displays architectural elements from different periods, combining medieval defensive structures with later residential additions around two garden-facing courtyards.

The château remains in private ownership by the de Galard family since its construction, requiring advance arrangements for visits during cultural events.

A date inscription on the doorway confirms the exact year of construction, while the 18th-century wrought iron staircase stands as a protected architectural element.
