Château de Mouchac stands in Grézillac (Gironde), in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: 15th century, 17th century, 19th century). No visits are on record for this building.

Mouchac Castle, built in the 15th century in Grézillac, Gironde, stands on the site of a medieval stronghold first documented in the 12th century. Two crenellated towers frame a central arcaded lodge, remodeled in the 17th century and partly restored following a fire in 1885. The property retains its quadrangular defensive layout with forecourt, outbuildings, and an honor gate with square pillars.

What to know

  • The castle remains a private property and is not regularly open to the public for visits.
  • The facades, roofs, outbuildings, orangery and honor gate have been protected as historical monuments since 1986.
  • The site occupies the location of an earlier fortress, of which the rounded machicouled towers remain.
  • The architectural complex includes a western terrace with balustrade, a forecourt flanked by corner pavilions, and an adjacent stable.
