Château d'Arcangues stands in Arcangues (Pyrénées-Atlantiques), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: first quarter of the 20th century). Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Château d'Arcangues has belonged to the same family since the 12th century, though the present building dates from 1900, rebuilt on the plan of a 17th century structure after several destructions. Two pavilions flank a central block, and a round tower with an octagonal roof echoes Spanish Basque architecture. Inside, the grand salon with its white and gold panelling set with Flemish tapestries, along with the so called Spanish room and its painted coffered ceiling, reflects the taste of early 20th century reception houses.
