Overlooking the town of Mauléon-Licharre, this castle is one of the most iconic historic sites in Soule.
Built in the Middle Ages, this fortified castle occupied a strategic position between Béarn, Navarre and the Basque Country. Having served in turn as an English and then a French fortress, it bears witness to the great rivalries that have shaped the region’s history.
Today, its ramparts and towers offer a real journey back in time.
