Horgues Castle, in the Hautes-Pyrénées, is a 15th-century residence that still shows its defensive origins: four distinct façades, two towers with heavy buttresses, a brick watch-turret and a wooden gallery rebuilt to match the original. Inside, Empire-period wallpaper survives alongside the original roof timberwork. A private property, it retains the massive look of a Lavedan stronghold.
