The château de la Creuse is a Renaissance residence built around 1585 in Portet-sur-Garonne, shaped by master mason Guillaume Mestre. Its architecture blends classical regularity with archaic features: a brick facade accented with stone around openings, paired corner turrets crowned with Renaissance-style roofs. The building exemplifies regional construction methods of the Garonne plain, where brick and pebble alternate in the side walls.
