Château d'Urtubie stands in Urrugne (Pyrénées-Atlantiques), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France.

Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

A few kilometres from Saint-Jean-de-Luz, the château d'Urtubie stands on the site of a border stronghold authorised in 1341 by the English king Edward III, then duke of Aquitaine. Destroyed at the end of the 15th century and rebuilt in 1505, the building took its present form during the 1745 alterations, which added the main residential wing, the terrace and the stone staircase. Visitors can see a medieval keep, twin entrance towers linked by a gatehouse, and an interior that includes old Flemish tapestries. The same family, through successive marriages, has held the estate for generations.
