Château d'Etchaux, Medieval castle in Saint-Étienne-de-Baïgorry, France.

The Château d'Etchaux stands with two corner towers and watchtowers, built on a raised earthwork overlooking the village in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques.

Built in 1555, the castle served as the main residence for the Eschaux family, who held important positions in the Navarre royal administration.

This noble residence represents the defensive architecture of the 16th century in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques region of France.

The historical monument now operates as a hotel-guesthouse, offering visitors the opportunity to stay within a heritage structure.

The oldest sections of the castle date back to the 12th century, with substantial renovations completed at the end of the 16th century.
