Château d'Uza, Historical castle in Uza, France.

Château d'Uza is a castle in the village of Uza, in the Landes department of southwestern France. It sits on a square footprint with four corner towers, a central pavilion, and a gallery that supports a wide balcony on the upper floor.

A medieval fortress of the Montferrand family stood on the artificial mound, or tuc, before the Lur-Saluces replaced it with the present residence in the 17th century. In 1472 Isabeau de Montferrand married Pierre de Lur, and in 1586 Jean de Lur married Charlotte Catherine de Saluces, heiress of the last Marquis of Saluces, uniting the two names. The château was inscribed as a monument historique on 3 May 2004.

The name Uza comes from Gascon: the castle stands on a tuc, the Gascon word for the artificial mound that held the original fortress. A fresco signed G. Vincent and dated 1890, in the south chapel of the village church of Saint-Louis, shows the castle in its medieval form, giving a rare view of the vanished fortress.

The castle sits in a rural part of the Landes, away from main roads, so getting there by car is the most practical option. Since it is a protected site, it is worth checking access conditions before visiting to avoid any unexpected restrictions.

During a 1929 renovation, architect Jean Prunetti replaced the original gabled roofs with a flat terrace and added loggias with fluted columns to the facades. This gives the building an unusual appearance that mixes a 17th-century layout with features more typical of the interwar period.
