Château de Lacaussade stands in Baurech (Gironde), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: limite 16th century 17th century). The building is privately owned and no visits are on record.

Lacaussade castle in Gironde dates from the 16th and 17th centuries, with a square main building reinforced by corner towers. The ensemble underwent several modifications in the 18th century, including the addition of a lower wing in 1763 and the construction of a chapel in 1766. The castle's distinctive character derives from its central square tower accompanied by a corbelled round turret, which evokes its former defensive role.
